An unusual question about cats and dogs.

Let me try and explain this properly. If evolution is to be believed, then our brains were able to grow bigger because we lost our fur because we stood upright and then it was too hot. So our brains could be cooler which allowed them to grow bigger.

If you put cats and dogs in the same situation, would they become similar to us? If so which would be more successful.

Personally, I think dogs, purely because they are much more sociable animals. On the other hand, cats can survive in groups quite well. E.g Lions.

I didn't put this is deep discussion because I thought it was a bit silly, but not silly enough to put into spam.

Cats are more effecient than dogs and more manipulative, so I would say cats, being social isn't much of a benifit, sure it helps but you need more qualities.

Although dogs are deemed to be more social than cats, that's not really the case in modern domesticated canines. Domestic dogs are social retards when compared to wolves and the like, whereas cats maintain much the same instinctive social abilities to their wild counterparts other than aggressive territorial displays to other species such as humans, which they have grown accomadated towards. I wouldn't give the 'social' edge to domesticated members of either species.

In the wild however, wolves and other forms of feral canine are more social than cats, although as pointed out cats can be social too; not just lions, but groups of wildcats have been observed to live, breed and hunt in small family groups. This is still, as Kyonko has said, not a guarentee that dogs would be the more successful; if we look at the range of environments that Felidae have successfully adapted to and in some cases become top of the food chain, it dwarfs that of canines, showing a far greater versatility. Add to this Kyonko's other points that cats are more efficient and manipulative than dogs, and I think we have a winner.

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget
