The dog’s instincts are still very much intact.
Barn cats are the natural domestication of cats.
You need a friend to protect your grain stores.
Early domestic dogs were probably ratters, too. The domestication process for both were probably pretty similar.
The biggest difference is that domesitc dogs were then also able to be bred into companion hunters.
Cat domestication is mainly about making them small enough so that when they randomly decide to slap your face with their clawed paws you wouldn’t die.
More like:
- Dog - “humans are friendly! They give me food! I shall serve them!”
- Cat - “humans are friendly! They give me food! They shall serve me!”
They didn’t just come inside. They also infected us with brain parasites that makes us like cats, and learnt to meow in specific frequencies that make us treat them like human babies…
They also helped keep grain stores free from vermin that would otherwise have cost countless lives throughout history. Our ancestors knew damn well why they wanted to keep them around.
This is all nice and cute but how will fox domestication be represented in the future by these types of comic strips?
Fox’s aren’t going to be domesticated.
Foxes dont follow a hierarchical system like dogs, cats or horses where there is an Alpha (the owner of the animal) whom they fall under in the pecking order.
Foxes like to shit and piss all over everything and burrow Into couches. Good luck with the fox thing.
That hierarchy thing was proven to be bullshit ages ago
Can you send me a link to where you heard that?
From Scientific American, “Is the Alpha Wolf Idea a Myth?”
They are not going to get domesticated WITH THAT ATTITUDE
