Cats are amazing animals, many people viscerally hate them, I'm never sure why. They're quiet, super clean, and not emotionally needy like dogs. I see horrific dog attack cases at work. As well as the endless number of noise complaints from dog barking, another territorial pack behaviour. I've never seen a report of a violent cat. I still maintain that people mistake pack loyalty and submission for love, in dogs. They do love to hunt and kill, for sure. They're predators. One of the reasons they're terrible as outside animals in Oz is that our fauna lacks predators. But they're good if you have a snake problem, as the video shows. Snakes don't stand a chance, the physicality of a cat is breathtaking. Another way to see the difference with dogs is to compare with their wild counterparts. Wild dogs are nearly always nasty, filthy pack animals. WIld cats on the other hand are some of the most superb, noble animals on the planet.
