Cats were originally used to kill rats and other vermins, especially on those wooden battle ships and pirate ships. Very useful. So it's understandable.

But cats were never bred or trained the way dogs are. Dogs were absolutely bred and they bred the most loyal dogs on purpose. That's why dogs are so easy to train.

but cats, we kinda just let cats do their own thing. So for thousands of years cats were not really trained. They are only semi-domesticated and therefore they still act and are pretty much a wild animal. Hard to train.

I think in the future maybe we can use gene editing tech to domestic cats so they are better pets.

Because currently cats are more abandoned then dogs due to people having the mindset that cats are low maintenance, but in fact they are not. They need as much attention as dogs or they will get depressed and cause problems.

You can train a cat to use a toilet but it might get scared or annoyed then end up doing it's business on your bed and be afraid of using the toilet after that. So all your training will be useless.

I like cats but the media has hidden the truth about them.
