More From Calvin and Hobbes
Housecats are not solitary by nature. It’s a lifestyle that we impose on them. Leave a bunch of cats alone, just putting out food, and they’ll form a society much like lion prides.
We think they’re solitary because, unlike dogs, they are smart enough to recognize that humans are a different species and hence can’t be members of cat society. (Not that they’re particularly tender towards their own family members.) Did we tame them or did they tame us?
