    Dogs evolved from pack hunters who ran down their prey using speed and strength. Cats are solitary ambush hunters who evolved for agility, such as climbing and jumping to better attack prey or set up their ambushes.

    There are lots of breeds that can survive without humans

    Cats can’t do it regardless if breed unless they’re in an untouched ecological wonderland with no predators. They always need a human settlement close by since they’re worse hunters and better scavengers than wild cats.

    Anything a cat can do, there is a breed of dog that can do it better. Except maybe shit in a sandbox without training.

          They can't without some major genetic remodeling.

          The neuron density and organization of the dog/wolf brain is superior to everything else in carnivora except for raccoons and hyenas. They even have a more primitive version of wernicke's area so they can actually understand language into thoughts and feelings, and just lack the ability to turn that process around and understand thoughts into language. The dog has the same or slightly superior peak general intelligence than a pig (of course, the average pig is going to BTFO unterdogsch like labs, shitbulls, and mastiffs in any cognitive task), with superior social comprehension, and they are extremely useful to have around as a result.

          We could do better but it would mean domesticating hyenas or just leaving carnivora entirely and working with primates or taking a chance on the possibility of avians having "souls" (mammal-like self concept based on inverted causality).

            Avians are pretty intelligent and trainable. Anyways, do you really think cats are that much dumber than dogs, or is it a quirk of their temperament that causes us to think they are dumber than they are?

              Cats ARE much dumber than dogs, and they always will be. it's a neurological reality. They have fewer neurons, and the connections between them show that their brains are more oriented towards visual-motor skills. We can postulate this in the same way we can postulate a dolphin is dumber than a human, possibly smarter than a chimp. The dolphins frontal cortex is reduced, and the spindle neurons connecting distant regions of their large brain are fewer in number and less organized.

              You're just easily impressed and would probably think a trained rat was smarter than an untrained border collie because your culture equates subjective metrics like career achievement and cooperation with an objective metric like cognitive capacity ("you are your job"), combined with fallacious soi-ence worship (if it has not been proven in a study, it's not that the a scientifically valid study is difficult to devise and operate to completion, it means it is not true).

                But you can make career achievement or cooperation into objective metrics with standardized tests. And what's the point of intelligence if you don't do useful stuff with it?

                How do you define useful? Who made you founder, owner, and operator of all life on earth inc? Maybe I think your "useful" slave dog is useless because it's a neurotic homosexual unlike my based cat who uses his limited intelligence more wisely - by not annoying me? Useful is a subjective metric. Cognitive capacity is an objective metric like the efficiency of a machine.

                You pick and choose tasks to test efficiency/effectiveness of the animal. That's how they make working dog breeds.

                And these tasks are important because? You think so? I think your working dog is useless because none of its jobs are more important than doing circus tricks and it's a neurotic and pathetic creature that lacks free will. It's a detriment to the world, even, if you use it to enable bad things like police brutality, the war on drugs aka black people, and animal agriculture.

                Cats are dumber, but aren't they better? Maybe you could breed a dog to be better in the same way as a cat. Make it so it doesn't bark, bite, eat shit, or go insane if not told when to sleep and when to wake up.

                Just illustrating how dumb you are for picking this semantic fight between intelligence and usefulness. Wolves are smarter than all dogs but also not "useful", or maybe you're just too shit to train them.

                Domesticated animals are intended to be a tribute to man's triumph over nature. Dogs are dependent on humans to be clean, disease free and disciplined, but they are very loyal, useful for personal protection, property guards, hunting, shepherding, bomb and drug sniffing, etc. A trusty tool, a sentient weapon, and companion to some. People feel differently about certain animals compared to a species we literally co-evolved with and treat as family and that's fine.

                Cats spread disease and are invasive. The domestic/street cat is the most disgusting thing to me, but what do you expect from animals that just come when they want food. Dogs love their owner as long as they are good to them, there is an actual form of social contract. They're mentally inferior to dogs, and their hearing range makes them incapable of properly understanding your verbal commands. They're only a step up from fish and reptiles as pets. There is no competition.

    The reason Canines and Humans ended up becoming such good friends so early is because they're one of the few animals that can keep pace with us. Early hunter gatherers used persistence hunting, which is a tactic wolves in packs use. You're not going to outrun a spooked deer in a sprint, but if you just keep a steady pace, and keep tracking them, you can make up the difference over time, until you've exhausted the animal you're stalking and you can just all pile on the thing and break its neck or stove in its head.
    They're muscles for endurance.
    Cats on the other hand are typically ambush predators, and the whole tactic is reserving their energy for one big push to catch their prey.
    Think of a cheetah. They're fast as frick, but they don't keep that pace up for long.

          Their muscles are built differently. Cat muscles have a lot more fast twitch muscle fiber than dogs or people do. Which is why a cat can be a lazy piece of shit 99.9% of the time and then being able to swat a bird out of the air.
          People and dogs have more long muscle fibers, which are better for endurance.
          We all have both kinds, and certain muscles have more of one kind than the other, depending on what they do, but you can think of cats as having spring loaded muscles. A lot more power and energy released at once, but you have to "reset" the springs before they can go again. Your endurance muscles are more like pistons, made to keep going, and have more power to give over time, but with a less steep curve.
