Well done, pup, well done.

#3 Awesome! Good some Broodhound in this blood.
There's a physical reason dawgs are mans best friend, they're the only animal that can keep up with us over long hunts and migrations. Kittuahs ride on cushions.

#5 I won't argue the point Barb. :)

I also thinks it really happened that way, Felix affricaus domestica has high speed, excellent night vision and hearing, plus those whiskers the Martians added. But they are low on endurance, they are not difficult to run down if you are persistent :). But they were to valuable as mice and rat killers to leave behind, so they traveled in back bags, in arm and on their own feet, but mostly carried.

I have zero evidence for this, but trust me. )

#6 I heard someone say something sometime, "Cats could only become domesticated after people became domesticated."

Could have been Nat G, could have been Jim B.

#7 "Cats could only become domesticated after people became domesticated."
