When you compare the cats of today to their predecessors, you realise just how tiny they’ve become. Domestication has taken the sabretooth out of the tiger, so to speak. Well, not quite all of the tooth, but you get my meaning.
On the other hand, cats have become much brainier, more sagacious. They’re so small that they must be quick on the uptake if they hope to continue to live in clover. Well, not quite in clover, but I’m sure you get my meaning.
Anyway, they’re cute when they purr, and only scratch and hiss occasionally. It’s a fair trade-off.

unbolt me 
Somehow your comparision sounds closer to an unmarried man versus a married man. Marriage takes out the Sabertooth so that they can only scratch and hiss. They become braineer rather than the earlier savage they were…

The future evolution of cats should bring an end to the Garfield-esque creatures some adore others endure. Domestic cats care nothing for what’s now or what’s next. Feral cats lurk patiently in the shadows for careless housecats to venture outside. Cat-knapping takes on a whole new meaning when an indoor kitty-cat falls under the claws and passions of a wildcat. The cat-trafficking toms will lure the hapless pampered Persians and Tabbies with the promise of unlimited high shelves on which to perch, and seas of humans to distain from above. Little do they suspect the cruel truth that awaits them.

And Cats have very expressive tails, so tail position and movement can tell us a number of things … like lets cuddle and play or man I’m pissed!

Very true. Those tails are a whole language in and of themselves!

Some say that cats have already taken over the world. All this control and ownership of pets is just an illusion. Welcome to the catrix.

Totally. Our hero shall be called ‘meow’.
We’d fight against agents with mouse-er pistols.
Take the red pill meow and we’ll see how deep the mouse hole goes.
Damn, I can’t think of more cat or mouse puns.
