cat - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com (3210 words) |
 | The wild cat ancestor of the domestic cat is believed to have evolved in a desert climate, as evident in the behavior common to both the domestic and wild forms. |
| Due to common cross-breeding in populated areas, many cats are simply identified as belonging to the homogeneous breeds of domestic longhair and domestic shorthair, depending on their type of fur. |
| This evolutionary history may be the reason cats do not "understand" the desires of humans in the same way that dogs do: before humans, cats had fewer social relationships to benefit from. |
