I guess 10,000 years of domestication has not bred out the killer instinct. :0 As a comparison, new research has indicated dogs were domesticated 30,000 years ago.

Once the cats get their humans properly trained, the relationship is smooth.
And I say that as a cat fan.

I love cats but will never have one in my home or around my wife and little children-only dogs. I don’t want them to get schizophrenia or another mental illness from a cat’s toxoplasma gondii parasite.

Besides, I’ve never forgotten an article from a first responder who said cats eat their dead owners after less than a day of not getting fed whereas dogs will starve themselves for days before taking that action.

...and they're probably also trying to work out how to kill you, say researchers...I've gotten that impression many times when exchanging glances with some cat - I do love them though - they're especially good grilled with lemon-butter sauce....
