I feel ridiculous even mentioning this after Wonder’s thoughtful post, but…
I think pugs are ugly, yet they seem more human-like than, say, a german shepherd.
My cat has grown roughly 700% bigger since I got him maybe 12 years ago. What’s your point?
Or because evolution is bunk, and cats are a superior race from another planet sent here to consume vast quantities of food and lie in front of fires.
My cat tries to fish, but I think the river’s a bit quick for him as he’s fallen in more than once.
He doesn’t learn. See, no evolution for him. Though he does kill one hell of a lot of small rodents.
Yet they spend most of their time asleep. Go figure.
Pah, my cat wouldn’t last five minutes in the real world. Actually, he’d be fine, because there are loads of mildly lonely old people round here who’d take him in and feed him. In fact, I suspect this is what he does on a regular basis.
your cat probably would die in the wild, the average lifespan of an outdoor cat can’t be much past 2 years old, which is quite a leap from the 15+ you can get out of a house-cat, but thats what happens when you have predators hunting you and your species hasn’t invented modern medicine yet.
Catches silverfish with his mouth and leaves them on the bed for me somtimes in return for my services. Sickening.
Well, being a skeptic myself…I wonder…
We evolved from apes.
Notice how an ape has close together eyes, an unproportionate nose, an uneven facial structure, undefined cheekbones, and just very unappealing ratio…
Now why on earth does a cat have desirable human features? just…why?
For example, the one in my op. If you saw a human with facial features like those, you would just oogle over them (minus the fur).
My take is the golden ratio.
They’re just proportionate.
Wide-set, almond/upturned eyes, narrow bridge, high cheekbones, shapely skull…
What, are we evolving into cat-like creatures?
It sounds a little kooky, I know.
But it’s undeniably there.
