Part of the effects of domesticating cats involved unintentionally selecting for cats who were attracted to the strong scent of ancient people's discarded or unwatched fish. Domestic cats have always been opportunistic scavengers and fish is a common meat people make available by consuming it in their own diets. If thousands of years seems to short to have that much of an impact on cat evolution, keep in mind most of the crops grown for food today look nothing like they did before we started domesticating them. But yeah, wild cats didn't go after fish for the most part (with one or two exception species), but domestic cats grew to love fish by way of stolen or discarded human supplies.

Why aren't dogs known for enjoying fish in the same way cats are?

Shouldn't they have also acquired a taste for it through the domestication process?

>> No.11723747

>>11723701
Cats caught fish long before they were domesticated, and have a diet that requires more fat than a dogs. Dogs love fish as well, but don't have the reflexes or coordination to catch them consistently in the wild (although wolves and coyotes do take part in the salmon run just like bears).

Cats need taurine found in high concentration in the heart and liver of animals as well as in the muscles. Fish also contain taurine. Taurine is an amino acid that regulates heart rhythm, reproduction, digestion and vision. Most mammals manufacture taurine from other amino acids but cats can’t and must have their diet supplemented.

Fish is another source of protein for cats. But there can be too much of a good thing. Fish can contain high levels of mercury and other toxins. Feeding your cat a diet high in fish is linked to Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and hyperthyroidism. Some cats can even be allergic to fish. It’s best to limit fish meals to no more than twice weekly.

I work night shift at UPS and I'm a lot valet which means I have to move the trucks around fuel them and park them and there's a family of cats that live across the road and the mom is constantly having kittens and last night I went to go into a truck and I just saw a small black shape suddenly scramble and wig out everywhere in the truck.
My first instinctual response was to think it somehow was a giant spider and I received a massive shot of adrenaline and took a huge jump back as I whispered "holy shit..."
but then a retarded little black kitten jumped out and ran away
I guess they raid the trucks because the disgusting, fat ass drivers leave their cabs filled with discarded fat food wrappers.
