Did cats fake domestication?
Ancient DNA Shows Cats Domesticated Themselves – Why Are We Not Surprised?
Cats domesticated themselves without becoming domesticated, shows a study looking at 9,000 years of cat DNA history.
while 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, ‘domestic’ house cats look pretty much exactly like wild cats.
That’s because they domesticated themselves—not through form, but through function, and research reveals that wildcat ancestors share essentially the same genetics as house cats today.
