The cat, Felis catus, has been catching birds and throwing up hairballs for approximately 10-12 million years (depending on who you ask). Scientists estimate the nearest relative to the modern human, Homo sapiens, arrived on the scene about 300,000 years ago (depending on who you ask). Ancestors of the modern housecat were snacking on humans before our ancestors figured out how to flick boogers. That loveable little Lucy cat you see in the picture has, at least, nine million years of cruel survivalist instinct embedded in her tiny cortex. Meanwhile, my measly brain can’t make it through an hour of the day without playing the theme song from Spongebob Squarepants.
