Ancient Kittens Hint at Cat Domestication

[Still Waters]

The skeletons of six cats, including four kittens, found in an Egyptian cemetery may push back the date of cat domestication in Egypt by nearly 2,000 years.

Cats have never really been domesticated: they moved in when humans started attracting pests that to them were food, and they've been living with us ever since. But it's a fair trade between equals, we provide them with food and shelter and they make a relaxing rumbly sound and feel good under the fingertips.

I think its their social structure that makes them tougher to domesticate than dogs/wolfs.
