Also, I'm pretty sure cats were domesticated way before 3.5 years ago. I think it was even as far back as, hmm, over 80 years ago.

Edit: you are correct to downvote me, it was not a good joke.

Have cats been domesticated as of 2025? Last time I had a cat at home 10 years ago, it felt like he domesticated me!

Truthfully, I was thinking about this while writing my comment. I settled on thinking on very loose definition of 'domesticated'.

By any definition cats are “barely domesticated” and watching wild big cats makes that clear.

We negotiated an uneasy truce that involved us changing more than the cat has.

		Fair. Once cats reached the internet we had no chance left.

There is some evidence to support this idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_the_Cat .

		Some ancient non-touchscreen art depicting felines over 100 years ago? Revolutionary!
