# The random killing of caravans must stop!
Unless it's a whore-house, in which case it's dirty and deserves to be killed.

Actually, I tend to have very serious doubts about this addition, being the reason for a cat to claw (the behavior is usually also called stropping) is to break off any part of the claw which has become blunted, so as to sharpen it again (consider the analogy of an X-acto knife: you break off the tip to get a new, sharp, clean blade). Keeping that in mind, the cats need to exert pressure on the claws for them to break off and regenerate the sharp edge. Usually, that pressure should leave marks on most materials softer than the claw itself, which would include pretty much all fabrics, most woods and a few other things

Actually, there is a reference to the cat having been domesticated over 8,000 ya at the beginning of the article, complete with reference (pointing to the findings in Cyprus). And I'm afraid you can't by any stretch of the imagination call cats "still wild in form and essentially in behavior as well". That has more to do with a common misconception than reality. If you're talking about the ability to survive and thrive in the wild, it is shared by at least dogs and horses (excluding of course the urban habitat for horses). If you're talking about the diversity and number of breeds, while there are fewer breeds than dogs, the number of cat breeds today (including extinct breeds and those still in development) numbers between 200 and 300.
