Default Re: Hamster not afraid of cat

Yes, all cats are different. No doubt, some will not be interested in attacking and chasing hamsters. However, given that your cat did kill your previous hamster Botan, I would say that she unfortunately is not one of them (again, I am very sorry for your loss. I do not mention this to make you feel guilty in any way, but just to give a reason for my stance here).

Ham ham Botan is dead

Due to this, I would personally keep the cat locked out of the room in which you keep your current hamsters. However, you say that you cannot do that and that is your choice. I hope no further mishaps befall you.

As for the question at hand: hamsters which have been raised in captivity do not know that cats are predators, so may well not display any fear. I do not think that this is especially unusual.
