Proailurus, the Before Cat

(image source: http://animaladay.blogspot.com/2012/06/proailurus.html)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lexi Ryan discuss Proailurus, the first cat in the fossil record, followed shortly by the first hairball and the first shock from petting after rubbing your socks on the carpet. From the Oligocene epoch, this 3-foot felid predated humans and hominids in general by millions of years, which explains why cats believe themselves above humanity. They were here before us, and they’ll be here after us. The sooner you accept it, the better.
