    Do also note that dogs have been known to do the same. Cats have a lower threshold for that and are more likely to do it in general, but they do tend to wait until they’re literally starving before eating a friend.

      Another fun fact about cats is that they are more likely to go feral because they have not been domesticated as long as dogs. Dogs and cats basically domesticated themselves to get food, but cats only began domestication 12k years ago which is not long considering the history of humans.
