Are Javanese cats good hunters?

Yes, Javanese cats can be good hunters. Like their Siamese ancestors, they tend to have a high prey drive and are naturally curious, agile, and energetic. Their sharp instincts and playful nature make them quick to chase after moving objects, so you might see them pouncing on toys or even chasing small critters if they have the chance.

Interactive play is key to fulfilling their hunting instincts. Use toys that mimic the movement of prey to engage them, such as feather wands and wheeled mice. These toys let them practice their hunting skills in a safe way while also providing mental stimulation and exercise. Play sessions should be varied and engaging to keep them interested, and ending with a treat or toy they can catch gives them the satisfaction of completing the hunt.
