People really do underestimate just how intensely humans have co-evolved with domestic dogs over the course of many thousands of years. (And with cats, albeit over a somewhat shorter time-frame).

And selective breeding is a POWERFUL evolutionary pressure.

My dog reads me like nobody's business, so I know all about this co-evolution stuff.

when cats get out, they're the same bloodthirsty adorable monsters they are indoors.

Feral kittens can easily be domesticated if caught early enough, and I’ve met plenty of street cats that eventually become friendly if you spend enough time feeding them and hanging around them. (Probably bc cats know a mark when they see one)

Cats are interesting and we’ve put far less effort into behavioral selective breeding until recently. They kind of chose us.
