🐱This Is What the Cat of the Future Will Look Like🐱
Cats have been evolving on Earth for around 37 million years, originally in a world without humans. It was only in the last 10,000–15,000 years that they emerged from the shadows of dense forests to join us and adapt to a different way of life. Physically, domestic cats differ relatively little from their wild relatives. Genome sequencing has revealed that the domestic cat shares 95.6% of its genome (the complete set of hereditary information encoded in DNA) with the tiger. Most cat breeds are barely 200 years old and are fairly uniform in size and body structure. This only further highlights how recent a phenomenon cat domestication really is.
