It might turn out that the human race will soon go extinct. If that should be true who will take care of the cats? My guess is that they would take care of themselves and gradually diversify into numerous species. Perhaps there will be tree dwelling predatory cats with gliding abilities similar to flying squirrels.  Given time, some cats might attain true flight, in the manner of bats: ![]()  |

Great!!! Just the what the world needs... Flying cats. It's not like they aren't responsible for the deaths of countless birds every year... Now you want to give them wings?

Another evolved cat I'd like to see would be the so-called Striger. I think they'd make fun pets but they'd first have to develop usable digits and a prehensile tail. :format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/11495689/afterman.png) Of course I think it would have been delightful if catlike creatures had evolved in some alternate reality with a different evolutionary path. This Tigerpillar seems like a fun beast.  |

I love that illustrative style - the artist is Guthrie? Edit: I found him - B. R. Guthrie. I wish I had his imagination, or at least what he is drinking! |

Yes, and another great artist of the same genre is KATE PFEILSCHIEFTER. Here's her illustration of a cowboy with a rather odd steed, one that appears to be descended from cats. Could it have developed in the past? Will it exist in the future? The answer is yes. Keep in mind that the original dinosaurs of the Triassic were exclusively carnivorous and rather small. But they were the progenitors of the gigantic herbivores of the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Or so I understand.  However, the cats of the future might have unwelcome competitors:  |

Well, OK, but Krypto the Superdog has been part of American culture since 1956 and nobody seems to care or thinks it odd. Krypto is potentially a lot more dangerous than any flying cat I can imagine. For instance, the Dog of Steel can not only fly but he's super-strong, indestructible and can shoot deadly x-rays at those who displease him. Get him close to some Red Kryptonite and he could go mad and destroy the world. And how come there's no criticism of carnivorous bunnies that might evolve and wreak havoc?
