“Do you think foxes are more closely related to dogs or cats?”

“Well, dogs obviously? Im like pretty sure they’re both related to wolves, biologically at least”

“You’d be correct, but that answer isn’t quite as obvious, especially among children”

“Stupid really”

“Come on man, think about it like this: the reason humans get so mixed up about this sort of stuff anyways is because of our useful, and smart~… ability for pattern recognition!”

“…”

“They hunt their prey like cats, they’re more solitary like cats, and they hiss like cats as well! quite cunning animals really”

“Recognizing things like that is mere instinct. True intellect lies within ignoring the innate”

“How pessimistic. You should learn to love yourself a little more~”

“Let me ask you a question then wise guy…”

“Do I really wanna play with your rhetorical question?”

“Ah, sorry, that sounded sarcastic. Genuinely curious…”

“Oops, sorry”

“But are there any behavioral similarities between foxes and dogs?”

“I dont know”

“I hate you”

“I’ll know when I start college for real this time!”

“Sigh… Maybe… Just maybe, they’ve still got some instincts within them that ache back to their wolf ancestry. Maybe foxes are solitary, but long to be part of a pack”

“Look at you, mr. “true intellect” getting philisophical over the longing hearts of foxes~”

“What I’m saying is that they can act like cats all they want, but deep down they’re just prettier dogs”
