>>102706You were the one dropping this term. If you don't want to explain what you mean, fine by me. I remain unconvinced, though.
>>102696>a domestic cat killing a baby rabbit is an intervention in the natural order of things,Bullshit. Cats live outdoors (ususally and historically) and can find their own food just fine.
>>102696>domestic cat wouldn't exist without modern humans, A "domestic" cat is fed by humans, has its shit cleaned up by humans, and is capable of transmitting pathogens to humans (see:toxoplasmosis) which are essentially a primitive version of mind control (causing OCD and suicide, if the cat desires it). Who domesticated whom?
>wouldn't have spread throughout the world, and wouldn't benefit from human protection against predators. If humans were to abandon an area, the feral cat population would plummet.Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Head on down to Australia and see what happened to the feral cat population. And cats are just fine at defending themselves. I don't think I've ever seen a human protect a cat's life. You're a fucking deluded retard if you think this.
>>102714>cats require humanity to survive.That's simply false. Whereas dogs might depend on our scraps, cats are perfectly capable predators capable of stalking small game instinctively.
>domestic cats are as natural as modern cattle.Nope. Cattle are unnatural because they've lost fear of predation. A wolf can typically just approach a cow and take it down easily. Cats still retain all their natural instincts of self-preservation and hunting.
>they are a direct result of human intervention.That's just not true. People may have selectively bred dogs over the years, but cat reproduction has always been much more natural and uncontrolled. They are parasites, not pets. You may be suffering from too acute a case of toxoplasmosis to make this connection, but be aware that you are wrong in this.
