Ashkually dogs were domesticated 20,000 years before cats thought about domesticating us.
I am reasonably sure that if cats domesticated us before we domesticated dogs, we wouldn’t have domesticated dogs at all.
Nah, we domesticated dogs because they’re the only other predator on the planet that we won’t accidentally run to death while on a hunt. Cats are more into stealth and pouncing. Dogs and humans just chase our prey for miles till it can’t run anymore. It was pretty much bound to happen at some point.
Cats saw us with dogs and were like “I could get a twofer here…”
Fun fact cats were domestivated twice, but only one line lives on today (african wildcat and the central asian wildcat)
I’m pretty sure cats domesticated us instead.
This meem is ahistorical
Cats just sorta moved in with us when we started doing agriculture, because of all the bugs and mice.
Fun fact:
In medieval times cats were seen as evil and chased away. The job of hunting mice was done by smaller dogs.i dont get this one
Highly recommend this recent Extra History video about the domestication of cats
