==Domestication and Early History==
Anatomically, it is difficult to distinguish wild and domestic cats. In fact, in early Neolithic societies even before 8000-7000 BC, it is possible or even likely wild cats or early domesticated cats would have lived in villages. They may have simply stayed near villages rather than been actively domesticated initially, which may explain why their anatomy has not changed. In effect, cats could have been one of these rare species that could have domesticated itself as it adapted to humans through its own choice.
