A brain is built a certain way, and it functions a certain way. Instincts aren’t like memories or knowledge that gets passed along, but your genetics determine how your brain develops and the way your brain develops informs your behaviors. A cat brain is built differently from a bird brain, and a bird brain is different from a cow brain, etc. so all these species exhibit different behaviors naturally. Its just like any device or machine, it functions the only way its capable of functioning.
