On our way home from town some days ago my daughter asked me this question. If there was a war between cats and birds, which side would the griffins fight for? 

 

Vote and explain your vote.

We had a lot of thoughts about it. One was that they would be so confused that they went mad and started to fight each other instead. 

they would fight as flying predators and as cats against smaller cats.

 

nasty creatures, birds of prey.

 

they would see a furry nom stalking through the grass and would dive and pounce and not think twice.

 

great cats kill lesser ones and adult males kill kittens so griffins, even in their cat hearts, would have no compunction choosing sides.

 

nasty beasties.

*stalks off to play with mousies*

Neither side. Griffins don't exist.

ehm why would griffins have anythign to do with cats of all things?

someone else wiki it for him, I'm tired

As you can see on this pic, the griffin is a combination of a lion and an eagle. Thus it´s both a cat and a bird. 

Bird. They have a mind and heart of a bird

They wouldn't join in; such petty squabbles between ordinary non-hybrid animals are beneath their dignity.

They will tell cats they'll help

 

They will tell birds they'll help

 

After battle starts they will do neither

 

After battle ends, they will eat all

*notes all the different theories*

 

No one believe that they will support the cats?

we do not trust the hunters that fly, meow nope.

 

and wow we have all put a lot of thought into this...

Birds...because I told them to!

Either that or they'd see themselves so detached from either species due to their grace and raw power that they'd see both sides as food and have a massive hunting spree against both.

 

Cats and birds uniting against the gryphons, fight of the century!

kitties mostly take care of the tasty nestlings.

 

mmmmmm.....featherssssssssss... tickly :)

and I have a new understanding of what if comics now...

Definitely with the birds. Why roll around with the creatures on the earth when you can take to the winds? 

Why are you all so naïve to think griffins exist?

Why do you think griffins don´t excist? 

 

Some interesting theories so far. 

Bird. They have a mind and heart of a bird

 

My daughter agrees with you but she also think that the griffin has the heart of a lion. 

Species don't exist until there is scientific proof they do.

ley, your mental status is slightly impaired.

 

you may need to increase brownie consumption.

What is insanity?

 

If in a group of people, everyone believes that the earth is flat, and then, one goes ahead and claims it is round, and says he will sail around the world, is he insane? We would say no, but in the past, yes was the answer. And maybe, he was. Maybe his insanity made him think something, that then turned out, to be the truth, even though he did not know.

 

Is insanity, to believe that, that is wrong, or to believe that, what noone else believes? Or, to word it in another way, to not believe what everyone else believes?

to just not get it perhaps
