...there wouldn't be a Jerry for Tom to chase anymore. And, depending on the owl (e.g. an Eurasian Eagle-owl, ), there wouldn't be a Tom, either (yes, an owl can hitch a domestic cat if she's large and powerful enough, there's even a photo I once saw depicting this happening and the cat seemed to be very confused "")."Hootie" (or "Ollie") would bring about the ultimate end for the entire cartoon in the first episode she were to be featured, perhaps in the first three seconds of her appearance. And this end would be the most quick and the most silent end for a cartoon, like, ever.

Spike basically fills the ecological role that the owl would in this scenario, doesn't he?

    IMHO, not exactly. Dogs can't fly, aren't as silent hunters as owls and are too clumsy to fill the ecological role of "unavoidable, fearsome predator unexpectedly swooping down from the skies".!showerthoughts@lemmy.world
