cats are kind of an enigma as 'domesticated' animals

we never really actively domesticated them. we were never breeding them and picking out the 'tame' ones. for that matter, they've changed very little since they were in the wild. if kittens aren't socialized with humans at a certain age, they will probably never really trust humans

it's an interesting relationship. they were important to have around when we started harvesting and storing grain, as they would hunt mice and other vermin. we probably learned that if we give them some food, they'll hang around. but that's pretty much as far as the relationship went, and where we're still at

and that's that 'fukk you' attitude that people love and hate about cats. they're never gonna be your bytch and 'obey' like a dog

hit the nail on the head.

I need to take a zoology course now, or at least rent a book from the library...

I have a cat and what's interesting that he won't come when you call his name,while he's sleeping, but if you mention treats or dinner, he rushes from out of nowhere as if the apocalypse is happening

I was always a fan of the strays in my old neighborhood. It'd be funny watchin em hunt birds and go at it with possums and racc00ns.

yep, they're real predators. a dog is primarily a scavenger (although they do hunt)

that's why they're obsessed with cleaning themselves, and why they do stuff like bury their poop. they know their scent will give them away. they're real deal ninjas
