Domestication
CAT
Cats (Felis catus) were domesticated around 9,000 years ago in the Near East. Unlike dogs, whose domestication involved active breeding and training, cats likely began their relationship with humans more passively.
Early human settlements produced surplus grain, which attracted rodents. Wildcats, in turn, were drawn to these areas in search of food.
Over time, these wildcats adapted to living near humans, and the mutual benefits of pest control led to a peaceful coexistence.
Eventually, humans and wildcats formed a symbiotic relationship, with cats becoming more tolerant of human presence, eventually evolving into the domestic cats we know today
