Had lots of different pets since I was a kid gold fish, hamsters, lizards, chinchillas. Got a cat seven years ago he’s a great character very independent can be very loving but on his terms and when he feels like it. Got our first puppy in September and it takes pet ownership to a different level. He is def one of the family so different to the cat he always wants our attention and is very loving. They are both great but the dog is our pet and the cat thinks he owns us lol

"Dogs are always pleased to see you.

Seen a thing about that, basically the modern hounds have evolved to show loyalty to humans.

Puppy dog eyes is a real thing that has evolved for their expression

It comes from the domestication of them for around 20 thousand years or so, cats only have about 3 thousand years, so are naturally less interested in humans.

I thought that was interesting so I went to see how much the lifespan might offset that. It appears that there have been updates - signs of cat domestication have been found at around 9,000 years ago, and the indicative dog domestication is given as about 14,000.

That's still a significant difference, admittedly, but as cats seem to live less than dogs (unless they're neutered, in which case it's not going to be an evolutionary factor), there shouldn't be that much in it in terms of "total generations since domestication".

Could it be because dogs are descended from wolves, which are pack animals, whereas most wild cat species are solitary?

Partially yes. That is why they were easy to domesticated in comparison to cats.

But also just the way they were domesticated and bred. It was to work along side man, they love having a job to do (individual basis of course, some lazy dogs out there). Cats were bred to go it alone and catch rodents, left to their own will to do the job.

Over time cats have become more sociable but still far from the levels of dog sociable.

Maine Coons are very big, very friendly, and far too intelligent sometimes! Other than that, they're fairly normal cats so yes, they do hunt and catch when they're bored. One of mine used to stalk bear cubs in the woods Fortunately, none of them has ever dragged one through the cat door

Wolves haven't developed the same gene as domestic hounds and dont show the same interest or loyalty as them for that reason.
