Cats and dogs can have the run of the house, or can be forced to live outside some or all of the day. a dog that lives outside gets a doghouse, a cat is left to fend for itself. However, a cat is generally allowed to roam, but a dog is tied up or fenced in. You'd never keep a dog or a cat in a cage full-time, but you might do that with a hamster or a bunny. The hamster might sometimes be allowed to run around in a plastic ball, but the bunny doesn't get a plastic ball.
These standards all seem normal to us, but I wonder how they came about? Like why don't we have cathouses in the backyard or plastic bunny balls?
