Question

A house cat hunts mice hiding in the house, killing and eating it, Is it commensalism, mutualism, parasitism, or predation?

Answer 1

In this case, the house cat hunting and eating mice can be classified as predation. Predation refers to one organism (the predator) capturing, killing, and consuming another organism (the prey). The cat benefits from capturing and consuming the mice, while the mice are harmed as they are killed and eaten.
