Would it have worked if they'd been cats?

What would Spike be?

Cats are appealing and interesting in their own right, no fancy hairstyles or colors needed
Horses are somewhat similar in that regard, though not for most people
Honestly, no, because most of what they do in the show would contradict "proper catlike behavior" - this would make the show impossible for people to suspend their disbelief with

cats are cute but they are not useful

You kinda have to train the dog to do most of those, not saying you shouldn't but some people don't, and because most dogs are biger than most cats they can cause a bigger mess

I'm a horsefucker, not a catfucker. That's fucking disgusting.

>>27490371
For maximum cuteness, yeah. I'm not too keen on the porn, though and the setting of the show might be altered where it might not be MLP

For some reason, I don't think "My Little Pussy" would have flown with corporate.

Call it a hunch.

Dogs do that too. I had a Boston terrier who killed the shit out of chipmunks. My cat manly gets shrews with an occasional mouse or rat.

An equivalent to the races (earth pony, unicorn, pegasus) would be difficult to come up with. Sure, cats have varying breeds, but it's mostly just fur color, fur length, and mannerisms that change. Not quite the same as wings/horns/whatever the fuck it is earth ponies have again.

The EUP is pretty important to the lore.
