Thoughtful comment.
The agrarian progression would need the cat to keep the harvest under control, as well as the spread of disease. However, the steps leading to this level depended upon the dog, and the agrarian level also depended upon the dog for herding cattle, sheep as well as alerting the farmers to dangers threatening the herds or homestead.
Cats aren’t very good at guard duty, and are less than useless in herding animals.
Yep!
Because cats are Liberals.
Whiny, self-centered, demanding and lazy.
“The only thing a cat loves more then killing mice is getting pet and sleeping!!!”
I’ve known more than one cat who has looked at a life mouse and then at its owner as though to say “You don’t expect ME to touch that, do you?”
Barn cats may love nothing more than killing mice-—not all house cats are the same way.
(which is why dogs are better—even a house dog has an urge to do the work for which it was bred to do).
Or they adapt:

They also ignored how many humans are killed each year by canines versus felids. Even if you include the big cats I’d venture that dogs of all kinds, including pit bulls, wolves, coyotes, dingos and hyenas kill more people every year than lions, tigers, and pussycats.
I love both my cats and dog. They have different strengths. This ‘study’ is like saying apples are better than oranges.
No way! :0
Hmm....

Killings Maulings and Escapes by Big Cats by 2011
Your post contained several unnecessary words.
Here, let me fix it for you:
Cats aren’t very good at guard duty, and are less than useless.
Yepper, I keep horses. Ya got horses ya got
grain, ya got grain, ya got rats, ya got rats
ya got snakes or cats. Pick one.
“They also ignored how many humans are killed each year by canines versus felids. Even if you include the big cats I’d venture that dogs of all kinds, including pit bulls, wolves, coyotes, dingos and hyenas kill more people every year than lions, tigers, and pussycats.”
Yes, but if you die alone in your home, your cat will probably eat your dead body.
I keep dogs for the two legged vermin.
Horses
will kill a coyotee or a stupid dog, they seldom
mess with a cat.
we knew this, but thanks
