hot cocoa on the couch posted:like when it’s sitting in the window chirping at squirrels outside and my daughter asks “why is sal talking to the squirrels?” i get to tell her she’s not making those noises voluntarily, that’s her murder instincts amping her up to tear out each of those squirrels limbs individually and toy with them before bringing them home to us to show us how good of a slaughter machine she is hate to break this to you but those aren’t instincts bred into them, they came that way if you were talking about a dog you might have been right

Grevling posted:If you go to wikipedia and look at the page for the east african wild cat that domestic cats are descended from, they look almost exactly like house cats. Cats don't seem to have been bred in the same way as dogs, they've just hung around. Dogs have genetic trait ("slippery dna") that allows for higher mutation rates so they can be bred into different varieties much faster. Cat's are much less domesticated as well saying they have hung around rather than being used by humans is pretty close to the truth.

I'm pretty sure British people mostly have indoor/outdoor cats. It's actually a pretty big cultural difference with America and they would probably argue it's cruel to keep the cats inside away from where they want to be. It depends on the cat though and where you live. Some cats always want to try to get out (my cat is like this, he was a stray as a kitten so he has some of that outdoor instinct) and some house cats wouldn't step foot outside and are terrified of it. Rural areas mostly have wild animals like coyotes that will murder the gently caress out of a house cat and urban/suburban areas have cars so neither are perfect.

ideally a cat should have a small enclosed outdoor area to sniff the ground and attack grasshoppers and other mild cat things

Maybe if we crossbreed cats with dogs we will eventually get a cat that looks and behaves like a dog and is a dog. That would be a good cat.

For a while I lived in a house with a big screened in porch. He loved it but sometimes he'd get accidentally locked out and he might poop in the planter. He did what he had to do. ~Just cat things~

Indoor cats escape sometimes. Without front claws, they can't even climb a tree to escape if attacked by another animal, much less defend itself against one.

I've yet to see a cat successfully use its claws to defend itself against its main remaining natural predator, the car.

And then one day you get in your car to buy some milk and your breaks are mysteriously cut, or tires shredded by feline claws.

sincx posted:Cats are great pets. Useful (catches pests), convenient (can be trained to poop in a litter box, or for smarter cats, a toilet), requires minimal care, and are cute. Breeding sterile crosses of watermelon and genetically removing appendages from cats are so totally different they might as well not even be considered the same thing. We could breed seedless cats the same way we breed seedless watermelons though. However, we aren't able to freely clone cats the way we can clone plants so whats the point.

When I set traps around my neighborhood that brutally maim birds and small mammals in a way that gives them an excruciatingly slow and agonizing death people call me a psychopath and phone the police but when someone adopts an indoor outdoor cat they just call it snowball.

instead of being aloof and bitchy they should breed a cat that's always happy to see you and plays fetch and can be trained to do tricks and wags its tail when its happy and barks

If your neighbour has a dog, you get bark bark bark bark bark whine whine whine bark bark bark bark bark bark bark All my neighbors have dogs and usually in the mornings when I'm out walking mine we'll run into each other and then our dogs get to run into each other and be happy and socialize and it looks like they're having a real great time. Basically I've never seeing a similar situation with cats. They are all sweet and friendly animals. I'm sorry you live in a ghetto and are too much of a coward to confront your neighbors.
