Cats seeing a people they can rule is not a twist. It was expected.

Recent analyses of ancient DNA hint that cats moved from what’s now Turkey to Europe some 6,000 years ago, coinciding with the dawn of large-scale agriculture.

Grain stores and mice.

I would like to have a pet bobcat. Not sure my dogs would like it, but they would adapt.

Feed ‘em and they’ll never leave you alone. I didn’t need a study to figure this out.

Cats are “domesticated” one at a time. Without that they are instinctively feral. The first reason they are not feral is that being fed is easier than havin to feed yourself. When you are fed hunting becomes sport and not survival. Cats quickly adopt that mode.
