    Ehhhhh, i dont really agree. Whats wild? Cats arent domesticated. Snakes, turtles, lizards, and birds arent domesticated either but theyre kept as pets fairly easily.

      What do you mean cats aren’t domesticated?

      The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC.

        He means they don’t make baked goods, or have a cocktail waiting for you after getting home from a hard day’s work.

        They’re stupid. Don’t listen to them.
