Answer:
If you have more than one cat in a confined space with potential kill targets, the cats will interact with each other rather than each of them going for a separate target.
For example, at one time I had 6 rescues living with me. A small child from the neighborhood brought over some frogs and crickets to entertain the “fuzzies”.
You would think that with several targets of opportunity, bugs and frogs, each cat would be able to choose a separate target and go for it, but NOPE! Instead they all got in each other’s way. There was one cat, a feral, that went off on his own after the largest frog, but all the others went straight for the first frog to jump out of the box., totally ignoring any subsequent frogs. But when the crickets joined the frogs on the floor, all the cats turned to the crickets. I had a ring of cats so focused on one or two crickets hopping about that the frogs went unnoticed except the big one that the feral cat had decided was the most entertaining thing on the planet.
And, all the frogs survived (once we were able to discern how many there had been originally and were able to locate them all), the crickets did not fare so well. We did hear crickets in that house for months after.
it was an entertaining time for all, well maybe the crickets did not enjoy it as much as the cats and I did. (I don’t recommend turning a plethora of crickets loose in your house unless you are ready to hear them for weeks to come)
