Kitty kills mouse in hut. Shows person living in hut. Gets piece of cooked ox. Self domestication

I read years ago that dogs domesticated themselves. The few who learned to sit patiently waiting for human scraps to fall to the ground became pets and it was mutually beneficial since they would then bark and growl to protect their turf, thus alerting the human to potential dangers.

I have a feral alley cat that has more or less domesticated himself.

a Pomeranian looks nothing like a wolf, a thoroughbred jump horse looks nothing like a wild pony, and a potbellied pig looks nothing like a black boar Because these species of animals were bred specifically to bring out their current appearances and dispositions. You'd think someone writing an article on the subject might know that much. And there are many different breeds of domestic cats. They are much smaller than wild cats. Can the author guess why nobody wanted to live indoors with a cougar?

Most of our cats have been feral strays. Takes five minutes to tame them. They are creatures who love a soft bed and full full bowl.

Cats “domesticated” on their own terms. Many of them still do.

Cats are inherently evil.

I was thinking the other day how cats come in all sizes from a male lion that weighs more than 400 pounds while a house cat is 10 pounds.
On the other hand humans do not have such a size disparity. A dwarf might be 3 feet tall while the tallest humans are about 7 feet tall.

Have you ever seen a Serval Cat?
I read an article about one that escaped captivity for a few hours.

Cats, rats and cockroaches: the three great human codependent species. I guess one out of three ain’t bad.

Cats found out they could take a screwdriver to the brains of people, like crazy hot women do.
The rest is history.

HA! I’ll believe that when our cats scoop their own litter box.
