Cats have nailed one thing so well that they all do it and just come up with slightly different sizes. That's why they're perfect evolutionarily. They don't need variation. They might get bigger or smaller, but they don't change anything else, because they're just right otherwise. They're not jacks-of-all-trades; they're masters of one.

Cats challenge standard biases in evolutionary biology. People have said to me, “What about bats? What about rodents? These groups have so many species doing all kinds of things.” And I'm like, “Yeah, because they suck.” They haven't figured out how to do anything well, so they keep trying different things.

There are lots of things that have tried to be cats—other groups of mammals that have evolutionarily converged on cats. Marsupials have tried to be cats. An extinct group of carnivorans called creodonts tried to be cats. Weasels have tried to be cats. There's all kinds of stuff that has tried to be a bit catlike in different ways. But they kind of dip in and dip out of being cats, and they can't really outcompete cats in their space. They haven't lasted. All of those things that have tried to be cats do other things, too, and those things are fine. But there aren't a lot of things that are around today that do a very good job of being a cat.
