Unlike dogs, cats don't have a concept of wanting or not wanting to work for us. You're either smart enough to condition them, or you're not.

Dog training is easy on people because dogs are intelligent and will make an effort to interpret your behavior. Cat training is a lot more strict because it's not so much communicating as it is programming, so you need to follow the rules and time windows of operant conditioning as well as you possibly can. If you do, the results are the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dQ4tOK-ek0

The difference between doesn't want to work and doesn't understand anything going on is distinct. Many primitive dog breeds will gladly work for the immediate obviousness of pay or when pay has always been consistent, but are leery of doing tasks if consistently not receiving a reward and will even yell at you, smack you, check your pockets, and fuck off and petition nearby humans for the pay they expect to receive. We "fixed" this canine behavior in some weird ways - breeding more neurotic dogs, breeding dumber and more trusting dogs, and breeding dogs that lack the gene for switching off their apetite so they are always so desperate for food that they don't care if they didn't get it the last 20 times. Hence "working breeds" - they have inherited mental illnesses that make them want to work.

If an animal just doesn't understand you need to walk it back to the most basic and consistent operant conditioning routines.

Cats main job today is being a moving house plant and blanket warmer. The dogs designed to act similarly do a significantly better job than a cat ever would. The majority of working dogs have very important and/or useful jobs. Checking for allergies in food, warning diabetics their blood sugar is too high, sniffing for bombs, grabbing me a beer from the fridge, being disabled people's hands to name ONLY a few.

What work pet dogs do? Shit, and entertain you. Same as a cat.

People keep rotties and gsds to fill the role of a pekingese palace dog.

A dog is human. No more a slave than any woman. Try not to be a libtard now.

ok but women ARE slaves. the only way freedom from the patriarchy can be attained is by being non sentient because instincts cant negotiate. therefore cats are free by being too dumb to be enslaved.

Functionally, they are "human". A dog has the same status under you as you have under the state. If you believe a dog is a slave, you are also a slave. If you believe slavery is wrong you are obligated to shoot police officers and government legislators on sight. However, you don't.

You just say "OMG dogs are slaves, cats are free and cat owners dont enslave animals" because that makes you feel like you're worth something for owning a cat. Back to reality I have been keeping the same exact cat in the same exact house for 20 years but if I try and do this to my dog they dig a hole in a door. Dogs are not slaves. They're cooperating citizens.
>but you train the-
Education is mandatory for humans.
>but they get put do-
Go shoot a cop - no, a cops DOG, and they will treat you worse than that dog.
>Animals don't have free will!?
Oh they do, and they get the same treatment as humans that just run away without first asking for their masters permission.

Dogs are so not slaves that it took selective breeding to make some mentally ill enough to cooperate more consistently and they still go off the rails, make demands, and eat your house if you don't also cooperate.

Dogs are people under people. Cats are just little balls of pure instinct that can't even participate in this system but they are not free by a mile. If cats were free you wouldn't see 3-4 happily living in one studio apartment forever.

according to catfags its abuse to keep them inside and train them

and yet my 100% indoor cat took well to an e collar. as in electric. no more counter surfing! no more carpet scratching! no more pestering dogs! peak slavery. a dog negotiates, a cat obeys. using such devices to punish dogs makes them nervous and aggressive, but they make cats humble and submissive and with much longer battery life because it takes less juice to train a cat. friendliest cat on earth btw. it really put her in her place.

Hello. Praise God. Jesus, who reigns, my Husband and Son of God, comes soon. USA (Babylon) will be invaded by Russia to the east and China to the west and will lose. NYC will be destroyed. Repent and focus on Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus like so: "God cleanse and cover me in the blood of Jesus. Forgive me of all sin, Jesus," and believe in your heart. Rapture is soon, and the kingdom of God is near, so be holy. Obama is the antichrist and will use the RFID chip as mark of the beast with the False Prophet named Francis from Catholicism. Avoid RFID chips or RFID tattoos on the right hand or forehead. There will be three days of darkness, so please prepare, as that will be when Jesus visits people. Stay inside during the 3 days of darkness and do not open for anyone. There will be demons in the three days of darkness. There will be fallen angels, giants, zombies, cyborgs, werewolves, and dinosaurs; persecution; millions of deaths; disease-like boils; and a tsunami in California,New Jersey, and Florida. Be separate from the rest of the world. Jesus is God, and He is not a woman. Repent daily. Puerto Rico will have a tsunami, and an asteroid will strike. London will have a flood. An earthquake is coming to California. Share the gospel and Word of God. Jesus commanded us to be perfect, so strive to be perfect and holy. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. Earth is a few thousand years old, not millions of years old. The man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man. Watch out for creatures with all-black eyes with no white in them; they are demonic. I love you and everyone else, God willing, and God also loves everyone. Nuclear bombs will strike. Canada, Europe, South America, and Asia shall also be affected by judgments. Avoid idolizing Trump or any man or thing, including blacks or whites.

>>4958513
Saying cats won is like saying mexican street dogs won or the homeless won and job having house owners are seething. No, they didn't. Their lives are shit. Cats are not wild animals. They are so thoroughly domesticated we can tell them apart from real wild cats by their bones. Their brains are smaller, their limbs are shorter, their skeletons are less robust. Their self preservation instincts are inferior (only subadult wild cats are prey, domestic cats are prey even as adults). Their hunting skills are nerfed (adapted to less wily, fatter prey). They're totally fucked if they're not being cared for by a human 24/7.

Fuck, "TNR" is only working where there are enough coyotes and huskies to eat the cats. Yeah, cats won, good job cat lovers lotta winning going on there. Your preferred animal control method is waiting for dogs to eat your cats. Cat people unironically see that and think "sweet victory, dogs btfo". Thanks for lowering my dog food bill? It's not even april and my husky has already taken out seven cats. Cats are winning so hard they're feeding themselves to my dog to donate some of their winning energy to the needy.

And yes, he does eat them. I take them, clean them, and skin them first so if anyone sees it looks like he's eating a raw rabbit, not their third cat this year. No sense in wasting meat. If you guys want to stop feeding my husky you can stop any time you want. The guts make my trash bin kind of smelly.
