    Doggos are precious and altruistic. Cats are EA.

    I donno...

    bEAmdog EA is in the name.

    Cats are independent, but lazy.

    I think I still prefer Overhaul Games myself.

    Remember, domestic cats are responsible for a large number of modern extinctions. Dogs are the way of life.

    Dogs have done their fair share of extermination too. Seen any dodos lately...

    I seem to recall cats being the main attribute of that case. As the resident forums biology nerd, I resolve to find the truth!

    Hamsters are better than dogs and cats combined.

    Okay, the case of the Dodo is interesting. There isn't any one agreed on reason for their extinction. Heck, people can't even agree on what they really looked like. Hungry sailors were a significant reason, as the Dodo was relatively easy to capture. Cats, dogs, and rats are credited to varying degrees for going after Dodo eggs. So we can at least conclude that the universe simply hated the Dodo because everything wanted to eat it.

    I can also think of Deadodo, Undeadodo or Redodoedodo. For those dodos who met a cleric by chance.

    Cats are being unfairly maligned in this thread.

    Humans domesticated dogs. Cats domesticated humans and convinced them that the roles were reversed. Adding a laser onto a cat just makes it that much better.

    Gotta disagree with that. Domestication of cats didn't start until humans had developed agriculture. You just keep a few of them around the grain stores and you have a lot less rats, and require virtually not maintenance, and they bury their crap. Before you mention the Egyptians worshipped them, they also worshiped jackals and crocodiles. Just letting them live around cities kept the rat population down. They served their purpose. Just like dogs, people baby them, today.

    Cats domesticated humans...

    A really interesting observation, I must say! :D

    No more than dogs or any other plant we've domesticated. It's a trade off, we get something out of it (less rats), and they get our protection and food, and chance to pass on their genes. It's no different than wheat. There's far more wheat plants in the world than if we hadn't domesticated it, so good from the plant's perspective. The wheat gets our protection from pests, but it gets selectively bred in the way we want. A lot of the cats that people didn't like, got killed. It's only fairly recently (in a lot of cultures) that it became unacceptable to kill them, with animal rights. Hell, New Zealand considers them an invasive pest, and wants them all sterilized.

    @DrHappyAngry, The humour is in saying "cats domesticated humans", not "humans domesticated cats". That's what struck me as being funny, nothing else. :smile: (Isn't that just a play with words?)

    Well truthfully, cats just domesticated themselves, though I did find an article that did say that they domesticated humans. Cats just hung around humans enough that they decided to stick around.

    I thought cats domesticated people as well. I was certainly trained by many a cat growing up.

    Cats aren't completely terrible. Fire-roasted with a hot tangy barbecue sauce they aren't bad, especially when served with a lemming wedge.

    @tbone1 , I've a bone to pick with you.

    Come to think of it, hamsters make for the perfect bite-sized snack. In a Cuy Chactado kind of way.
