They're "now" creatures. For a cat, the only thing that matters is the present. If you have the promise of a warm lap and a stroknug demeanour, then that's just fine. And what happened a while ago is irrelevant. There will be more mice, just like there will be more laps.
Humans could learn a lot from cats, but I suspect they're usually too afraid of betraying our past or our future to do so...
