The problem is that house cats aren't part of the natural world. They are domesticated speicies like cows, which in the "wild" couldn't survive. Most domestic animals are incapable of surviving for long without human interaction because a reliance on us has been bred into them. While dogs and cats can both hunt reasonably well, they generally don't hunt for food, they scavenge.preciousdaddy84 wrote:In the "natural world" cats should be free and wild like they were born yet we as the "superior species" feel the need to use animals (cats) as our companions. I am guilty of this, I love my cats and I am happy to have them, but if we're going to get that deep into the subject who's really to say that the monkey cat have a the cat as it's companion?
On a slightly different view, we with out cat companions have caused ecological devastation in Australia. There are no native cats to that continent, and as such the native species have no defense agains them. So over the course a little better then 100 years house cats have cause more harm than just about any other species. Of course this has nothing to do with a cat and its pet oraganutan, which I should point out is not a monkey.
