Cats domesticated themselves thousands of years ago, but scientists aren’t quite sure exactly when - or who was responsible for the change. Domestic cats likely appeared between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, and some scientists believe that they essentially domesticated themselves. As agriculture developed in the Near East, the cats saw human towns as excellent food sources. Humans, on the other hands, saw that cats were helping them manage the rodents that were feeding on their grain storage.
Fast-forward that mutually beneficial relationship to today and most cats simply keep us company at home and provide us with a wealth of meme potential. The movement of cats indoors is also a relatively recent development. Until the discovery of kitty litter in 1947, most cats were left to their own devices outdoors, which might be why they’ve remained such adept hunters to this day. As the prevalence of rodents in modern homes also declined, cats that were put out of work as mousers became willing tenants in our homes.
There are significant overlaps between cats’ and dogs’ social skills when it comes to humans, but it tends to be the case that dogs are more social than cats. Dogs were social animals to begin with and they were often selectively bred to enhance these traits. As outdoor mousers, however, cats were valued for their predatory instincts. They’ve probably faced less pressure from humans to accentuate their most social traits, though most cat owners know that cats still have plenty of love to spare.
I was going to say I love it when I see a hard looking man loving a tiny kittie, but then I thought is it politically incorrect to say that, I'm old and so confused about what I can say anymore and then I thought I don't care, I'm going to say it anyway.

The look on Stella’s face in the first picture! Sarah has absolutely no idea how close she came to being sliced up by Stella’s murder mittens. If OP hadn’t been there…
mommmmy!!!!!!!!!!!! HE STOLE MY FOOOOOOD CAN YOU LIKE PUT HIM DOWN WE DONT NEEED HIM
Sarah knows she's not allowed to step into the kitchen and sticks to that rule I guess, while Stella could never be stopped in her righteous anger.
Damn, look at that look on her face - she’s all sorts of pissed off - Sarah might want to stay at a friend’s house for a few days to be on the safe side.
The left pic. 🤣 “I hated her then, I hate her now, and I’ll continue hating her forever.”
The photo on the left, with those eyes and the ears laid back? That's my Ramses pretty much every day. LOL
Mom should watch out for strangers knocking on the door asking to see Stella about the dog ad on Craig's list....
My sister's dog thinks cat food is treats. My cat thinks dog food is treats. Whenever the dog is visiting, we have to feed them in separate rooms so they don't try to steal each other's food.
Wyatt the Twitch is my stray rescue... jumpy little thing. Doesn't hang out or cuddle much, but if I act like I'm watching the birds through the window he'll bump up next to me and we can kick it together for a little while.
My pets are the only reason I haven't unalived myself on multiple occasions. Gotta take care of my furry responsibilities... in exchange, I get more love than I've ever received from any other family member. XD

The other day I was at Spencer's gifts (yes, they still exist, and they have great t-shirts and pins), and a customer had a cat on a leash. It was up on the counter receiving love when I walked in, the owner clearly having just paid for their stuff. I wandered around the store for maybe 15 minutes, and by the time I got up to the checkout they still hadn't made it out the door. 😂 Seriously one of the sweetest cats I've ever met.
Spencer's shirts are the best. (Especially the saracastic ones ^^)

I wish there was an "upvote all" button on BP because I would just click that for literally every cat post
I just got two stray cats claim me and my tent. Does anyone know how to make them go away. They keep coming in and making themselves home.
