Anonymous08/25/26, 08:21No.5155341Why are cats so perfect?
There are many cat-adjacent animals like ferrets, minks or even lemurs and so on that are similar on the surface: same general size, long tails, fluffy; and while they're cute in their own way we don't care about them too much, while nothing comes close to the perfection of cats. How just one species won so hard at life?

They evolved to like and communicate with us.
People here like to say they are dumb, but they very skilfully adapted to live with and read humans.

because cats are small-sized big cats and it's fascinating to observe them. and they are not diluted, watered-down version of their cousins. you get to witness the same software. just in smaller form.
in every nature documentaries, felines are always the highlights. it's literally cool to watch them do stuff.
and on top of all these, they happen to have the most aesthetically pleasing faces and some people mistakenly think cats developed these cute features because humans or whatever but other small wild felines all look exactly like cats. it's just cats were just born with them.

The ones people didnt like died or ran away. The ones people did like stayed.Now cats are dumb permanent teenagers basically. Pic related, adult wild cat. NuCats have shorter legs, smaller fatter bodies, smaller brains, and weaker jaws.Many cat trannies will fire back saying some wild cat looks like a housecat but thats because human encroachment led to them hybridizing. Even the one you see here likely isn’t pure. Ancient egyptians portrayed them with stronger jawlines and more majestic cheek fur.

My calico cat is 18. She still has a good appetite, strong/clean teeth, drinks water regularly, and meows at me affectionately or bitch at me. Still, I'm getting anxious because I know I could wake up any day and she'll be gone :(

Beauty, sufficiency, ease, and good manners - what more can civilisation require? We have them all in the divine little monarch who lounges gloriously on his silken cushion before the hearth. Loveliness and joy for their own sake - pride and harmony and coördination - spirit, restfulness, and completeness - all here are present, and need but a sympathetic disillusionment for worship in full measure. What fully civilised soul but would eagerly serve as high-priest of Bast? The star of the cat, I think, is just now in the ascendant, as we emerge little by little from the dreams of ethics and democracy which clouded the nineteenth century and raised the grubbing and unlovely dog to the pinnacle of sentimental regard. Whether a renaissance of monarchy and beauty will restore our Western civilisation, or whether the forces of disintegration are already too powerful for even the fascist sentiment to check, none may yet say; but in the present moment of cynical world-unmasking between the pretence of the eighteen-hundreds and the ominous mystery of the decades ahead we have at least a flash of the old pagan perspective and the old pagan clearness and honesty.

Just a thought: all of mankinds persistent ancestral predators were feliforms (including cave hyenas) and the primary purpose of toxoplasmosis is to make animals more attracted to cats.Toxoplasmosis makes infected humans rate the presence of all feliforms, including hyenas, as more favorable.Related: People from the global south also tend to rate dogs as harder to empathize with, worse smelling and uglier than people from the north, where pleistoscene wolves co-evolved with the ancestors of all asians and europeans.

I love dogs but I fucking despise their owners. This board has shown me that they are the whiniest, most insecure faggots on the planet. They literally cannot handle people liking other animals, especially cats. So they schizophrenically believe it must be some outside force controlling everyone who disagrees with them.

I feel like possibly the most important factor is how cats evolved grooming others as a show of dominance so they tolerate/enjoy being pet by us giant monkeys that evolved grooming things as a show of affection. It's just a very convenient compatibility between social behavior. You can't really pet most other animals like you can pet a cat.

People don't think much about it, but a major reason why cats became pets is because they're so clean and don't smell. Cat urine smells but cats themselves don't because they spend half the day grooming themselves. Bury a nose in your cat and it doesn't smell at all or has a neutral fur smell. Most animals reek naturally for various reasons, even when they're clean, and they don't spend half the time to get clean that cats do. If you have a pet ferret or whatever, YOU have to wash it or it'll get nasty as fuck because it doesn't care.

Cats are one of the most powerful fetish (not in the psychological sense, but in the anthropological sense, like a totem or a relic) a man can ask for.
> synchronized to our death drive and life drive
Cats represents both the natural strength of a loner survivalist and the social will to conquer land by multiplying through it.
> Most successful mesopredator in history
Shit's easy for most canines. Pretty much everything the same size of a cat can and will sometimes kill them, and the same isn't true for the cats, it would take an incredibly weak dog to get sent to the morgue by a cat, the opposite can happen if the dog gets too enthusiastic with play. And yet. cats survive and spread.
> Epitomize values of providers of safety, comfort and material needs.
You do things for your cats. Your cat doesn't guard your house, doesn't provide comfort unless its first provided to it, and they might sometimes bring you some dead squirrel as a thank you, but most often, you spend on them. Owning a cat projects that, at least in principle, you are capable of accepting duties which rewards you rather poorly in material equivalent exchange.
