Cats in ancient times – domestic cats – pet cats, it is not possible to know exactly when each evolution took place, but it is possible to know how cats changed after each evolution.
In ancient times, cats were very fierce and hunted for a living, and their size was relatively huge, and their physical fitness can be described as powerful. Until domesticated by our ancestors into domestic cats, faded fierce nature, the size of the body shrinks to rely on humans to live. So what are some of the changes in the domestic cat and then the pet cat? There are four more disruptive changes in total, which are detailed below.
First change: increased breeding
Ordinary domestic cats and stray cats breed in the spring, which is only once a year. But when we look at the pet cats we have at home, we realize that they can breed three times a year, which means that the number of times they breed has tripled from domestic cats to pet cats.
Accelerated breeding of pet cats has contributed to an increase in the number of pet cats, and at this pace in the near future the number of pet cats will be greater than the number of domestic cats. In fact, it can be noticed now that the number of domestic cats is getting smaller and smaller, while pet cats are becoming more and more visible.
The second change: getting bigger in size
To be precise, the size has become fatter, in ancient times the cats were strong and huge, but after being domesticated they became smaller again, but nowadays the pet cats that have become have become fatter again, it’s a case of every change in every period, cats are adapting to the various periods of their lives and what they should present.
Pet cats get a lot less exercise, and catching mice is not their responsibility, pet cats just need to live well in the house. So there doesn’t seem to be anything unreasonable about getting fatter, and getting fatter as well as it should.
The third change: the IQ has gotten higher
IQ, but the cat is always improving, the top of the domestic cat IQ equivalent to more than 2 years old 3-year-old children, and today’s pet cats ordinary are able to reach this level of line, if you pick some of the top of the point, then there is reason to believe that has exceeded the domestic cat’s IQ.
The learning ability of the pet cat has become better, may be the reason of long-term contact with humans, so make the pet cat’s brain expansion is better, all the time, and also able to slowly learn to understand the owner’s slogan, enough to see the pet cat’s IQ is high or low.
Fourth change: becoming childish
In ancient times, cats were fierce, domestic cats were high and cold, and pet cats were childish. Personality-wise it’s a step-by-step change, from fierce to cold to childish and a little bit more lively and cute, which is where pet cats grow up.
It should also be said that pet cats are adapting to a new life and a new identity, and in order to fit into the lives of humans, they have to play the role of the cuddly pet that will please people, so this transition makes sense.
Summary: The above four points are the changes between domestic cats and pet cats, in fact, these are visible to our eyes, these four changes are also very subversive, subverted the previous cat’s life, behavior and so on, perhaps in the future after ten years, domestic cats will be more and more far away from us, and at that time, the pet cats may be successful in replacing the domestic cats, and become a new representative of the domestic cats.
