You need a different cat. Get one from the pound that has been one his own for awhile (fed himself). You will never really be friends with him, but him/she will come with a hunters instinct. Our cat, Oliver, lives to catch voles. His record is 5 in one hour, and that includes playing with his catch. Often he brings them to the center of the yard and drops them. Then he plays like he doesn't care if they run away or not. Once they scramble 5 or 6 feet he crouches, wiggles, springs and reaqcuires. Process is repeated until the vole become too injured to get way. Vole is partially consumed. Then the hunt for a new vole starts. We do not snuggle and give nose kisses to this cat.
