To be fair, most cats 'train' every day, they just sleep in between. If you ate a controlled diet, spent most of the day sleeping, interspersed with some stretching and running and jumping on things, you'd be I'm pretty great shape.

I was just about to say that if you had spent your entire life doing parkour then you too could do parkour with ease. The reason we allocate specific times to train our body is because our daily lives don't contain enough activity to naturally train us.

Weighing only 7 lbs helps a lot too.

And being below the age of 15 in most cases

Also age & how much at what age different species age.

Ballparking it humans over 30 are cats over 10 or 12.
Humans just start aging after we had enough time to reproduce (bcs that's how selection works) yet have longevity way beyond our decrepit 40s - for that there was way less natural selection.

Ever seen how much your cat stretches?

Their evolutionary path min-maxed dexterity.

We dumped int.

It really did work out for us, we just have to get off our fatasses to keep things going. Call it a fair trade.

Our big brains take a lot of care and feeding for sure.

We also adapted for endurance hunting and fine motor control in our hands. A Chimpanzee could tear your arm off, but they could not throw a curveball.

We also dumped it in stamina. Seems a bit OP

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah and our cha is just broken.

We charmed wolves into permanent animal servants.

Course then cats charmed us into theirs, so swings and roundabouts.

it's almost perverse, isn't it

Or those dogs which are just naturally shredded. Or Kangaroos. Fuckers.
