Cats are an autonomous pest control system, that’s why they’re everywhere.
Comment on Pavlov's conditioning
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 11 months agoI’ve long had a theory that cats have evolved to be just cute enough that we don’t murder them. Cats are evil, so it’s understandable that humans would want to kill them, and I think we probably did early on, but some of them were so cute that we didn’t. Those surviving cute cats reproduced and made more cute cats, but they also became more evil. Over generations, we have created beings that are supremely evil, but they’re just so gosh darned cute that we let them get away with it.

Cats don’t have any of the typical traits of domestication. Humans do.
Draw your own conclusions.

Well that and they kill pests. We also like things that are useful.

If you were a better hunter, they wouldn’t pity you and provide you food to eat.
