    Fun fact: Cats and pigs are two of the only animals that will within a few generations, revert back to cryptic coloring, which means they largely loose their "domestic" coloration and go back to being their original "wild" color.
    Also, there's a massive argument of whether or not cats are "domesticated" the definition of "domesticated" being lacking or having "dumbed down" survival instincts, the inability to survive without human help. cats very much do not NEED human help to survive.
    ALSO Lions absolutely will kill a wild cat. They seem to do it...."just because".

      It depends on how you define 'needing humans'. Unlike their true wild cousins, feral cats don't generally thrive away from human civilization. They at the very least need humans to create the environments they prefer to live in and drive off competing predators, even if feral cats don't want direct interaction.

    We have a Bengal too, and had two others before him. They're such a mischievous intelligent breed. Our last Bengal figured out how to open the front door by jumping up and hanging onto the lever-style handle. Then the door always swung shut again on its own. Took us a while to figure out how he kept getting out, then we replaced the handle with a round knob. He was an F4, so his wild ancestry wasn't far removed.

      A huge part of the Scottish Wildcat story is they were sadly shot by the hundreds (sometimes thousands) by farmers because they were viewed as a pest akin to rabbits… never mind that they eat rabbits and hares 🙄 we have many records of farmers’ log books recording how many they shot each day… some sold the fur, others didn’t bother with even that. This is sadly entirely of our own making, although domestic cats were hybridising with the wildcats even back then. But if farmers hadn’t shot so many, we might have genetic samples of the original animal today… now we only know about the parts of the DNA which were passed into the offspring.

    I hope Danielle one day gets to see a Chinese mountain cat, but I hope she doesn't literally die. I knew a Scottish guy who called Scottish wildcats 'Scottish mountain lions'. I've never heard anyone else call them that. Is it a thing?

    What is funny for me is that the African Wildcat looks pretty much exactly like your average stray cat. Seriously I see cats like this one pretty much every day

    cat's really are incredible but that's why they're so dangerous too. I wish everyone would be responsible with their pets. :( Life isn't the same without happy fluffy babies scampering around... safely, healthy, indoors rofl. Poor wildcats got a tough time.

    Honestly, my two sibling cats hate each other. Thankfully we bought them a bigger house, so they can avoid each other if they want.

    No house cat has ever considered itself domesticated. Cats regard us as slow witted so they are quite happy to the degree they've been able to train us. If we didn't have an opposing thumb they wouldn't need us at all.

    it's weird how the pre-domesticated version of our cats still exist and is no concern for extinction, while the pre-domesticated version of the dog, the Dire Wolf is no longer around, guess that's just goes to show that cats domesticated us instead.

    • @unbeatable_all
      @unbeatable_all 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I have no idea where you got that from. The Dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus) is not ancestral to dogs and is distantly related to them.
      An extinct lineage of the grey wolf (Canis lupus) that existed during the Late Pleistocene is the progenitor of all dogs.
