tbh i don't think it is realistically a good idea but it's interesting to wonder if cats could evolve the vast differences of physical traits that dogs have if they were selectively bred that way

#cat breeding is extremely new #in the past rhe differences in cats mainly just existed in their fur colors #brown tabby is the default but black cats are created by a cat having the nontabby gene #orange cats from a form of erythrism (which can be seen in other mammals as well) that replaces black coloring with only red #colorpoints from a specific form of albinism that is also seen in some other animals such as mice and rabbits and while thought to not exis #t in dogs before has recently started appearing in a few dachshunds #etc etc you get the point #recently in the past 100 years as cat breeding became more popular different physical traits such as face shape tail type fur type body type #has started to diverge #so i imagine in a few hundred years maybe cats actually will be as varied as dogs are who knows #meowing
