Feo and Napoleon will chase anything and kill it. Feo has ate a live field mouse that my boyfriends cat brought in the house. It actually squeaked and sounded just like a squeeky toy while he ate it which was quite disturbing but thats the food chain I guess, not always pretty!
Eva has ZERO pray drive, she doesn't even chase or play with toys. Her and my bfs old Lab Donald would just sit there unphased together when a mouse ran right in front of them.

Matilda has MAJOR prey drive...she goes insane for FLIES!! But I honestly think she may have some hound dog in her or something. LOL Between that & her bark it's crazy. One day she was acting mental like she does when she see's a fly by the corner of the living room. Just staring at the wall. A few hours later a weird red fly flew out...it had been in the wall & she knew it! So bizarre. She was also the one who'd help us find our hamsters when/if they got lost. I really think she's a mix down the line. (I got her w/o any registration so anything is possible! LOL) Uhm, if our cats come in now & I'm not here the "pack" goes after her.  One day I was vacuumig the cat room where their food is & scared the crap out of the cat & she jumped the gate into the living room. Lets just say Milo came out with a mouth full of fur. LOL Soooo naughty but on the other hand if the cats hadn't started digging the Chi's when the Chi's were checking them out there wouldn't be an issue! |

LOL, Matilda sounds like a hoot!  Finn is the only one of mine that actually persues live wildlife without a second thought. We live in the woods basically. He chases our chickens if they wander too far, has run down turkeys, and one summer we had a bad problem with digger squirrels so that he ended up cornering them for a few months. He has never looked as fit as he did that summer!!  |

Heidi takes on cats and rabbits (well she is a terrier too) Jake just chases flies and birds but he thinks he becomes superman and will launch off sofas into mid air to grab a fly then realises it hurts when you land He was sat in the garden yesterday pulling funny faces because he ate a wasp |

Betty is ALL over squirrles/birds/etc. She wants to go get them and if I let her, would probably also chase bunnies down holes. We live on the 3rd floor, and have a rather large tree right infront of our balcony - I have squirrel visitors often, so I put out squash for them to eat. They also run all over the balcony, hide peanuts in my stuff out there (currently, Mr. Black is hiding peanuts in my garbage bag! Weirdo). So whenever Betty sees them, she starts whine/barking and stands at the balcony door watching.
Goo is too afraid of everything to get interested.
