SUMMARY
Cats cannot evolve into dogs under any circumstances, as they are distinct species with separate evolutionary paths. While it is theoretically possible for cats to evolve into a species that superficially resembles dogs over millennia, they will never become dogs. The discussion emphasizes the impossibility of such a transformation, reinforcing the idea that species evolution is constrained by genetic and biological factors.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of evolutionary biology
- Knowledge of species classification and taxonomy
- Familiarity with genetic variation and selection pressures
- Awareness of the concept of speciation
- Research the principles of evolutionary biology and speciation
- Explore the genetic differences between felids and canids
- Study the role of selection pressures in evolution
- Investigate examples of convergent evolution in different species
Biologists, evolutionary scientists, students of zoology, and anyone interested in the mechanisms of species evolution.

No, a cat can never evolve into a dog. Given the right conditions and selection pressures, over many, many millennia cats could evolve into something superficially resembling dogs, but they cannot evolve into the same species that dogs are now.
