"Why we haven’t done that with cats is beyond me. Shouldn’t take more than a few dozen generations." Bobbo: Cats have been domesticated for a long time, since they kept rats and mice away from Egyptian granaries. They were deified for their skills (the goddess Bast). All cats are still mousers at heart, and their personalities are still formed by the skill of killing rodents. Our three cats are all close to 8 years old, and are very loving. They do take emotional cues from from my wife and I. Eventually, they'll be gone, and will all be missed. Excellent insight from a six year old about a good dog.

That's an amazing insight for anyone much less a 6 year old. Nothing like being shown up by a child to humble a person. Thanks Dave, nice find.

Kids can learn from what they are told, then we are surprised when they act upon said learning. This peer pressure then drives them to hide what they have learned.
