okay, had this conversation with my girlfriend, and then two best friends one on one.
bam, humans are extinct.
would dogs survive?
would cats?
can their digestive systems handle the raw meat?
could either "evolve", though they have been domesticated for countless generations?
on friend thought the dogs would survive, and we didn't speak of the cats. another friend said dogs would not survive, yet cats would evolve. girlfriend thoughts dogs would survive initially, yet after voicing my opinion, she considered my point of view that they would perish. did not speak with girlfriend about cats.
my opinion on the cats would depend on characteristics of their digestive system.

If you die in your house, cats will eat you when they run out of food, dogs won't they will escape to find food. Talk about mans best friend.
I don't know what you mean by will their digestive systems be able to handle raw meat since both of their digestive systems are made for raw meat. When making homemade pet food dogs need 20% to be raw meat. Cats need more.
That being said dogs are opportunistic carnivores, meaning that they will eat just about anything edible, but prefer meat. Cats are straight carnivores. Both will probably survive on after the so called "human race".

I have fed my dogs exclusively raw meat and no problem. The problem is they have forgotten how to successfully stalk and hunt. Cats would have no problem for the most part. Some dogs would survive and breed wild dogs and there you have it.
