It was written:

The cats in the yard did wonders - I did harvest a huge crop of red
currants, along with a few blueberries and my very first ripe
strawberries. Unfortunately, one was killed by something (probably a
car). We have a new pair of kittens, but they haven't shown any
interest in going outside, so they may end up as indoor cats. (The one
who was killed begged to go out from the day we got him, and was hard
to get inside even when we promised him supper.) On the other hand,
the remaining outdoor cat has killed quite a lot of chipmunks since I
took down the birdfeeder. (Up 'til then she preferred birds, and will
still chase flies and such in preference to rodents.)

My reply:

It sounds to me like the kittens need a mentor...i.e. the experienced cat.
Just put the "hunter" in an enclosure with the kittens and introduce a "test
subject"....my guess is in no time you will have two new hunters.

Live large,
