To be fair, most cats ‘train’ every day, they just sleep in between. If you ate a controlled diet, spent most of the day sleeping, interspersed with some stretching and running and jumping on things, you’d be I’m pretty great shape.
Weighing only 7 lbs helps a lot too.
Also age & how much at what age different species age.
Ballparking it humans over 30 are cats over 10 or 12.
Humans just start aging after we had enough time to reproduce (bcs that’s how selection works) yet have longevity way beyond our decrepit 40s - for that there was way less natural selection.
Their evolutionary path min-maxed dexterity.
We dumped int.
It really did work out for us, we just have to get off our fatasses to keep things going. Call it a fair trade.
Our big brains take a lot of care and feeding for sure.
We also adapted for endurance hunting and fine motor control in our hands. A Chimpanzee could tear your arm off, but they could not throw a curveball.
We also dumped it in stamina. Seems a bit OP
Yeah and our cha is just broken.
We charmed wolves into permanent animal servants.
Course then cats charmed us into theirs, so swings and roundabouts.
Cats work for 15 years max. You might live until 100.
15 years is not the maximum time a cat can remain alive and suple. On average they can live up to 17 years and some live to their 20s.
“Average” is a really hard statistic considering entirely different living conditions across the world. Factor in street cats & baby deaths and the average is probably closer to 4 years.
This was for house cats.
But cats have 9 lives
I don’t wanna
There is literally a Wikipedia page dedicated to cats that have lived to be older than 25 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-living_cats
The fact that there is a Wikipedia page for this shows that it is noteworthy when it happens. Further, most people in this thread have probably already surpassed that milestone
Ok, median expected lifetime is around 15.
I find that hard to believe too. I’ve never known anyone who’s had a cat die younger than like 15, but I suppose it could be true
Ever seen how much your cat stretches?
Or how much they rub it in?
“Yo, what’s his problem, Boots.”
“They hate us, because they ain’t us, Scooter.”
They hate us because they anus?
Thank your erect spine.
it’s almost perverse, isn’t it
Or those dogs which are just naturally shredded. Or Kangaroos. Fuckers.
