Silly Cat Fails
Cats are odd creatures. While they can be cuddly and affectionate, they can also be neurotic and keep to themselves. There are a lot of cat cliches that may or may not be true.
There are two main theories of how cats were domesticated. One theory is that they were deliberately tamed to prey on vermin. This theory is strongly refuted, though, because cats have proven to rarely take commands from humans.
The other theory is that cats were simply tolerated by people and they eventually diverged from their wild relatives through natural selection and they began hunting vermin for food around the villages where they lived with people.
