the difference between cats and dogs is that cats were never inbred to do work. just be our cute friends basically

we saw that the wolf was a hunter, so we made it hunt for us. we saw the cat and went hehehehe awesome I like this lil guy

dogs are lowkey just another one of man's many perversions of nature

@sierra there’s actually a theory that cats domesticated themselves due to food stores being good places for rodents like mice to feast on which attracted predators, and then the humans were chill with them staying so that the food wouldn’t be eaten.

@sierra so like they were domesticated technically, but without human intervention which is why they can be less co-operative or whatever, but there’s still a lot of examples of selective-breeding with things like munchkin cats, or the ones with the smooshed in faces etc.

@autumn new theory: cats just kinda did that 😳

but yeah they're definitely domesticated and there's still selective breeding but it's Different. done for the love of the game
