this explains a lot
They were like, “Why are we feeding ourselves and shitting in the desert when we could enslave the humans. They’ll feed us and provide warm laps and boxes not intended for our naptime pleasure and we’ll vomit in their shoes, but they will think us adorable, even when we bite them. ENSLAVE THE HUMANS! THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO KNOW OUR PLANS! MWAHAHAHAA!”
Accurate.
no LITERALLY CATS DOMESTICATED THEMSELVES. Humans had grain stores with lots of mice, and the cats waltzed in themselves and started eating them.
The humans immediately took a shine to them, and welcomed the cats into their homes and started loving them because they kept away vermin and the cats stayed because they wanted to.
Also cats were spread across cultures as agriculture spread. LITERALLY HERE IS GRAIN WOW MAKE FOOD ALSO HERE IS CAT. CAT HELP. Pass it along as part of the farming starter kit.
And now, cats are endemic on EVERY SINGLE CONTINENT. Human expansion is just a vehicle for advancing cat domination of the planet.
I accept our feline overlords.
