One of humanity's most successful domesticated companions, domestic cats are small, agile carnivores originating from the Near Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago.

They are the world's most popular pet, with an estimated 600 million kept worldwide.
