Answer 5

cats are predators, hunters.  Dogs are scavengers.

Cats will eat a mouse, a bird, a lizard, if they can hunt and kill it...

Dogs figure it is too much trouble to hunt for their food, and wait for it to die, or be given to them.

By nature cats are solo predators, so they hunt prey smaller than themselves.  Dogs hunt in packs, and therefore they tackle larger prey.
