They're better hunters when they're fed and living well. They have more energy for one thing.

No. Only about a third to half of pet cats that are allowed out hunt at all. And out of those only half or so ever eat what they kill, and many will be picky and just eat their favourite parts since they have plenty of other food. Cats that hunt to survive or just that enjoy eating what they hunt will be more determined and skilled hunters

I had a very well fed indoor cat who used to hunt and bring me his trophies.

Same. I had a cat that my mom saved when it was hit by a car. She nursed it back to health, and the little thing was so skinny and you'd never guess she was a savage. She brought me mice, rabbit, squirrels, a groundhog once, birds. You name it.

Idk my cat wouldn't even hurt a fly. He eats a small dog beat up on him sometimes. He's just such a sweetheart it's almost detrimental to him, he's a big boy too
