THE DOMESTICATION OF THE CAT Sarah Hartwell, 2001-2014 Cats can live as cherished domestic pets or as tolerated wild/half-wild animals living in proximity to human dwellings. Domestic pets generally rely on their human benefactors for food and shelter, while the wild/half-wild cats live as sel...

【推荐1】If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you’ll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand---they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack ...

Domestication is hypothesized to drive correlated responses in animal morphology, physiology and behaviour, a phenomenon known as the domestication syndrome. However, we currently lack quantitative confirmation that suites of behaviours are correlated during domestication. Here we evaluate the strength and di...
Evidence of the behavioral processes that support the emergence of animal domestication remain surprisingly elusive. It is generally considered that domestication via the commensal pathway is underpinned by: (i) a proto-domesticate being attracted to a niche created by a proto-domesticator, (ii) both...
Variation of cats under domestication: genetic assignment of domestic cats to breeds and worldwide random-bred populations. Both cat breeders and the lay public have interests in the origins of their pets, not only in the genetic identity of the purebred individuals, but also in... JD Kurushima...
Cat domestication likely initiated as a symbiotic relationship between wildcats (Felis silvestris subspecies) and the peoples of developing agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent. As humans transitioned from hunter-gatherers to farmers ~12,000 years ago, bold wildcats likely capitalized on increased...
