Do you rename your pets? Or do they have multiple names?

Cats are wilder/less domesticated than dogs.  Dogs are pack animals, cats are solitary in the wild, except for mothers and children.  When dogs became domesticated, they left their pack and a lot of their survival mechanisms behind.  Cats mostly never did. 

The smaller cats are also both predator and prey, which makes for an usual instinctive behavior pattern that has not been domesticated out of them and that most dogs never exhibit.  Dogs will play at predation, but don't get serious until in the wild and in a pack.  Cats are straight up murderers, even fluffypants.

Cats are almost always bred for appearance, like foofoo dogs, and rarely for behavior.  What breeding there has been has only been for a couple of centuries.  Dogs have thousands of years of working characteristics bred into them.

Both fascinating animals and great, but different, pets.

You get into a cage with the largest cat and largest dog in the World. Which one do you think will view you as prey, and which one will die trying to save you from the other one.

Cats are kings of the jungle. They are predatory, deceptive, cunning, sly. They are independent, confident, and proud. When they kill something, they own it and keep it. It's theirs. They don't bring it to you like a dog. They're not servile beasts that can be trained. They have their own mind and live their own lives. They couldn't care less what anyone thinks. I respect that greatly.

You came to the wrong neighborhood.

2 adopted cats- Bootsie & Donut(found behind DD dumpster) they help fill the void of being empty nesters.   We're fully committed to them but we do miss the days when we could just jettison off to somewhere on a whim for a few days w/out any worries of pets.  

They’re cats.  Isn’t the the whole benefit of cats; they can care less if you’re there.
