They're literally the apex predator on land and will kill you if given the opportunity, granted they're big enough.
Cats think differently to dogs and act differently. I've seen cats who are affectionate and dogs which are trained poorly and don;t respond to commands. Cats were brought about out of necessity to deal with vermin and dogs for protection from humans and other animals.
You wouldn't have a team of dogs on your ship keeping vermin at bay the same reason you don't keep cats to protect your property. Most likely the dog will get stuck or be too big to chase vermin. Cats wouldn't give a fuck and sleep unless its night time and the cat is a Tiger. The intruder would be food for sure.
One thing for certain is cats are the real killers here, not dogs. Put any dog pound for pound against a cat of equal weight and it will get shredded. Small domestic cats can be pissed if provoked so I'd like to see a 100lbs cat vs a 100lbs dog.
No one is debating about who is a better predator - we're talking about the practicality and usefulness as a pet.
Cats are less intelligent than dogs. They are not as skilled at problem solving, do not learn as easily, and do not retain knowledge as efficiently. This is just fact. Not trying to dog on them (lol).
