I've put TheCat through extensive ninja training so she can defend the house against intruders. So far, when someone comes in she just sidles up and asks for Doritos. Failing that, she waddles over to resume her vigil at TheCatFeeder.

The answer is always murder... Go away for a weekend in the summer, and come back to an abattoir on the living room rug.
I think, the murders are mostly for either to reduce competition or to hone hunting skills, although I am not an expert.
