Are cats more evolved then people?

Question

They are much better looking than people, even old cats are pretty.

They sleep 18 hours a day, don't have to work, poop in a sand box maintained by a human.

If they are allowed outside they get to hunt for the fun of it and can play with whatever, coming inside if it becomes cold or starts raining, or if hungry.

Cats allow humans to take care of them and allow humans to pet them, giving only a purring sound in return.

If a cat is unhappy with the treatment it recieves at home they can pick up and leave, finding a widow to lavish them( It happened to me).

Cats are intelligent, urbane , suave and do almost everything with finese.
Except maybe that cleaning the butt thing with the leg straight up in the air.

Dogs aren't in the same category, not even close.

If I believed in evolution I'd say cats are at the top of the heap.

Do you agree?

***HINT***
This is a joke.....C'mon

Answer 1

Duh, didn't you know that we are there slaves, and they are so intelligent that they let us think we are in charge.

I agree though. Cats are very clever creatures, who seem to know a lot more than they let on.



Many of you are taking this question WAY too seriously. C'mon people it is a joke.

Answer 2

All the way yes, yes, yes. You mentioned the leg in the air bit (I just got thrill thinking about it).. how often are you tempted to squeeze it or hold it.. just to tick the cat off. My favorite animal of all time... any feline creature will do.

Cats are the brightest creatures in the world. See how they have made many of us into their personal slaves without as much as a hiss. Now, this goes back to the time when the fellows in Egypt were building those heaps of stone all over the place. Man, they even have pussycats embalmed with the kings - shows how important they were in the scheme of things even then - makes you think does it not.

They are so independent - if my main cat (female) is hungry and I don't feed her on time she will go over to my neighbor (another sucker) for her supper. They know exactly who they can manipulate into doing their will.

I am a cat person and will be till the day I die.

Answer 3

I agree. There is one universal law known by all cats and adhered to without exception:

Don't ever, ever, let humans know we can talk.

Next thing you know they'll stick us inside a cubicle writing legal contracts for the ASPCA. No way. And there's nothing wrong with cleaning one's butt with a leg straight up. If humans could reach their genitals with their own mouths that's all they'd ever do.

Answer 4

The cats' race started at about the same time as the humans' so were almost entirely equally evolved. Cats are intelligent and use humans to there advantage. Also cats are not gross, they are one of the cleanest animals on the planet.
Cats don't groom there butt, fore there's no fur there and it's gross (they lick there hind legs).

Answer 5

I'd have to say no. They are much more evolved as far as hunting but as a human you should know that we are by far the most evolved creature in the world. Our brains are unmatched. We are the top of the food chain. We have the power to destroy the whole world and we are doing it which does make me think we aren't as evolved as we think. I have to admit though, a cat's life is the good life. Especially mine!

Answer 6

I agree 150%... I have often said something like this.
My cats have the BEST life. I only wish I could live like them.

And cats can go for days without meowing, yet they know what the other cats are going to do next..they seem to converse telepathically..so yeah way more evolved!

As for dogs..they are just well...SPECIAL,...if you get what I mean.. They require sooo much work and time. And cant do much for themselves.

Answer 7

You have a bunch of good points there, but I am a lover of cats, I always have been. They are quite on top of the line, but can they do we do? Build bridges, do math, question the start of the universe? I think not, but you have to admit, cats are adorable yet sneaky.

And cats do live very long for their line. 21 years or more! Gosh by golly, it's all because of sleeping and living the dolce vita. Maybe we can learn from them.

But I still love them with all my heart.

Answer 8

Not really, if you saw how many of them are euthanized in kill shelters every year, you wouldn't think cats are so lucky or evolved.

Feral cats roaming the streets have an average life span of 3 years - you are only talking about the lucky ones who have good homes. That's why we all need to spay and neuter our cats, to cut down on the overpopulation.

Same with dogs.

Answer 9

No, mine aren't. My female gets mad if I'm not around her 24/7 and pees in the corner by the door so guests can be greeted with the wonderful pee d'ior odor. My male thinks he's a dog and loves to play catch.

Answer 10

Of course they are more evolved than people.
I mean when was the last time you saw a human walk on it's hind legs and vocally communicate in a way that almost every living thing can understand!?
When was the last time you saw a human, drive, work, cook, spell, talk, get dressed, etc...

Answer 11

Not if you are talking about the common, horrible, scratching, butt-ugly house-hold "pet" cat. Evil things, uncaring, unloving, unloyal. Horrid things. Not too good with cars either.

Now BIG cats are a different story. They are truly amazing animals and perfect apex predators in their natural environments. They are very close to the top....... house cats are right at the bottom among the slugs, worms and Man U supporters
