Dogs only have 1 litter per year. So it looks like cat domination.
While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

If they had to feed themselves, there would be about one hundredth the number of cats. And an awful lot more native birds.
Domestic dogs are, well, domesticated, and have mostly lost the compulsion to predation, so do not impact the environment so much; but conversely might do so more if they were wild.Last edited by Ignis Fatuus; 26 May 2011, 09:50.Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment
