In a latest extensive study of the distribution of Domestic cats, DNA analysis indicates that these cats lived for thousands of years alongside human beings before during that time, their genes have changed little from those of wildcats, except from picking up one recent tweak – the distinctive stripes and dots of the tabby cat.
Researchers surveyed the DNA of 200 plus Domestic Cats stretching the last 9,000 years, including Egyptian Cat mummies, ancient Romanian Cat remains, and modern African wildcat specimens. They found two major cat lineages contributed to the domestic Felinae that is known to us today,
The earlier ancestors of today’s Domestic Cats spread from Southwest Asia and into Europe as early as 4400 B.C. These cats probably started hanging around farming communities in the Fertile Crescent about 8,000 years ago, where they settled into a mutually beneficial relationship as humans’ rodent patrol – killing mice and other menace.
