Some neighborhood rear end in a top hat, or kids or whatever caught our family cat and clipped all his claws down to the cuticle. Now he won't go outside. Also, he had cuts on the sides of his eyes (right where the eyelids meet). I'm pretty pissed off right now.

i remember some 'life after humans' thing i read or watched talked about how if all humans disappeared it would basically be housecats and their descendants running poo poo for a long while as the dominant predators in most areas of heavy human habitation also dogs but they gave some reasonings as to why dogs would be less successful, i dont remember why but a lot of dog breeds are simply incapable of fending for themselves whereas pretty much every domestic cat breed can switch from adorable pile of fur to relentless hunter/killer in seconds

rotor posted:that seems sort of stupid, you get packs of feral dogs everywhere and humans aren't even extinct yet the assumption was that A) humans just vanished one day (think 'Left Behind' but more plausible) and B) most animals locked in their houses would die off so that kills off a lot of cats and dogs, but since a lot of cats are indoor/outdoor a large percentage are fine. then the dogs trapped in yards die off. any stupid small dogs like corgis and poo poo wouldnt really make the cut in a dog pack anyway afaik. so right off the bat there's gonna be more cats than dogs, and the few dogs that escape would be neutered are spayed since iirc they have a higher percentage of bein' fixed

i don't really think you guys have ever seen a pack of feral dogs, they'll eat basically anything, and deer will show up in formerly suburban areas pretty quickly and I know what you're sayin Kirk but anything following the phrase "our prediction in the case that billions of human beings instantly vanish without a trace is ..." is sort of pointless

whenever i go to the quik-e-mart i always feel nervous when there's a bunch of deer in the store, staring me down. i wish they'd move back to their homeland.

The reason they gave about dogs being less successful is that we've bred them to be unable to survive in the wild. Dogs with short legs wouldn't be able to catch prey as easily, dogs with short snouts would have trouble rooting things out, purebreds have a lot of health defects, etc. The dogs that would survive would be the mutts. There was a show on Animal Planet a ways back that did a countdown to the #1 predator in the animal world and it ended up being the domesticated cat. The only criteria I remember was the high variety of prey they hunt.
