Comment on Dogs Group, Cats Network by Lisa

Hi Pat!

I almost didn’t see your comment since I moved this blog over to http://lisahistory.wordpress.com — glad I caught it!

Cats learn very well, but like many of our students they don’t necessarily learn what we want to teach them. Dogs learn beautifully from humans, and most will try to learn what you teach, because they so want to please (built-in networking).

Cat people will tell you cats learn to open screens, dial phones, catch flies, let their displeasure be known, and trash an inbox full of paper. And I have indeed seen them teach such things to other cats in the household. Coming into the kitchen at night and clicking on the light will often reveal cats teaching each other all sorts of things you don’t want them to know.

Now, admittedly I am more of a dog person than a cat person (in that I have a preference for the company of dogs), but this analogy immediately made me think networks can’t be good! But I have an alternative interpretation…

Dogs are technology enabled networkers. The technology in question is peemails left on lampposts and trees. They form local groups (in the non-derogative (or is that non-dogative?) sense) which work together and are even accepting of outsiders (in the domesticated context, at least).

Cats, on the other hand, form groups-of-one, seldom accepting others, even if they live in close proximity. Pretty much everything is too much trouble for them unless they get a direct benefit from it, and they do little to maintain connections, even with the people who supply them with food. To my mind, they also seldom seem to learn – whereas dogs will teach each other things. Perhaps I just don’t know enough cats sufficiently well?

In many ways cats remind me of some academics I have known.

I’m trying desperately to catch up to the rest of the group and I feel very luck/fortunate to have read your post as I race by many others.
As I have a couple cats and a couple dogs, I instantly connected with your analogy. It also proves that both manners of organization can be effective depending on what you want to achieve. For the record, I seem to network better with the dogs.
Excuse me, I have to go walk the dogs while the cats watch in disgust.
