I have seen cats play with insects and rodents, and obviously enjoy it. It is a game. They are not hungry. Kittens practice their hunting skills on insects, maiming them but still keeping them alive to better practice. I don't say there isn't a reason for the game, it is all refining their hunting skills, but is, nevertheless, play. As for the apes, I saw it on a program on PBS. I think it involved chimpanzees. There were two societies, one involved a group where most altercations ended in sexual contact. The other group was extremely violent. In the violent group the males killed and hunted other chimps for seeming sport. They also engaged in eating a chimp infant.
