Flamebait for Lounge: "Life After People" narrator just said "Cats aren't too smart"!1

[UTUSN]

Dish is charitably (yeah-right, after raising prices) providing a few weeks "free" of the H2 (History2) channel, which is featuring this hour after hour of how everything manmade will eventually crumble and be overrun by vegetation and wild critters. (With the premise of "after people," what would have been more expected than everything manmade crumbling?!1)

One of the temporary survivors is said to be a certain breed (I missed what) of dog that will do all right for awhile without humans providing food because it is an excellent hunter/forager, but it will start with CATS because they are "plentiful and AREN'T TOO SMART"!1



Hookay, I'll be unavailable around here for the forseeable future...

1. My money is on cats

I have nothing against dogs, but having owned both, cats are the better hunters.

be one of the brightest creatures on Earth. Other times, the dumbest...

4. The cats will be the ones most efficiently surviving on "wild critters"

Also, they are good at hiding from danger and getting "out of the way" by climbing trees and such.

5. That's what I was thinking.

I'm a dog lover myself, but I think cats would be much better at hunting. foraging, and just being able to get out of the way.

6. If that is the same series I watched on Netflix a while back...

The winners are raccoons and cockroaches.

8. Put my money on the felines too.

Small dogs would be the first to go.

9. I remember this from a few years ago

I think most domestic animals would suffer a large population drop-off. Cats would do okay because they're fairly stealthy and good hunters. Remaining dogs will eventually gather into packs to survive.

10. They're sneaky bastards

They won't go on my chair when I'm around, but when I walk into a room they are there. I yell and them and they run, only to do it again when I leave the room. So in a way, yeah they are stupid.
