To add to nightsongs post and the domestication: We let the cats in when they claw at the door and we tried briefly feeding them outside. Well I tell him it is his turn and he lets the possum in along with the cats!!!! I look up at him and tell him you let a rat in...lol. We do not feed the cats outside because of that night.

Next, I suppose you'll be telling us that you're not a babe magnet either.

They don't say how many generations of selection they went through. But over 40 years it'd be ~20 or 30.

So how long before the marines breed an army of ape soldiers?

Must. Not. Get. Into. This. Here.

By the way, did anyone notice the researcher's comment on the foxes peeing because they're happy to see you? Since when is that a good thing???

And I love the blue eye'd ones, they are so pretty....

Some people desire that in a paramour. ;)

Those don't last long. All fox kits have blue eyes when they're born, but the color changes to a rich amber a short time later.

Peeing is pack behavior, a social signal that now extends to humans.

I guess the guys I hang out with are (thankfully) still sub human. The women on the other hand...
