In reply to the discussion: Cats vs dogs: Scientists confirm that felines are better... from an evolutionary perspective [View all]7962
(11,841 posts)36. Thank you for that EXCELLENT analysis!
I'm going to show your statement to some of my friends. You explained it so much better than my little post!
My experience started back in the 80s. I worked with a couple of women who confided in me about their husbands (I'm one of those guys that for some reason women tell EVERYTHING to). I've always been a cat guy, so i knew they're husbands hated cats from our previous talks about other stuff. So I started asking any friend who seemed to be with a bad guy how they felt about cats? And it always seemed to be the same answer.

Why we don't have guide cats, drug-sniffing cats, cancer-sniffing cats, rescue cats, guard-cats...

Children are another group that put up with a lot of abuse, just to be a member of their family.

Like the time the cat barked when the saber-toothed tiger was going to eat the caveman family.

I absolutely love my litte ex-feral cat. I watched him in the woods for 2 years.
