Some are smarter than others, but I think, in terms of animal behavior or ecology, cats are basically carnivorous rabbits.

That's not to say anyone who has had a trainable cat doesn't like them - mine have their moments - but I think it's worthwhile to consider that.

In what way do you see a similarity to rabbits? I think of them as being pretty different, with cats being less social and more likely to take risks.

rabbits are just prey animals and that shows in their behavior and attitude, whereas cats do a lot of predation themselves.

However, cats are far from the top of the food chain themselves, which is reflected in a lot of their behaviors.
