How were cats domesticated in human history?
Now many boys and girls like kittens very much, because kittens look really cute. Bian Xiao has a kitten at home, but at this time, everyone will find that cats are generally more naughty and disobedient than puppies. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you how kittens were first domesticated.

First, the cat's personality. Cats are generally arrogant, independent and wild, and kittens are different from puppies. If it is a puppy, it will like its owner very much as long as it is kind to it, but a kitten is different. Many kittens, even if their owners are kind to them, will follow others when others are kind to them.

Second, the temptation of food. In fact, the temptation of food is also the main reason why humans domesticate kittens. There were many mice 10,000 years ago, because during that time, mankind experienced the first agricultural revolution. A large number of fields have been planted, and there are more and more mice at this time, so many farmers have caught some wild cats and kept them at home, hoping that these kittens can help them deal with mice. In fact, for these wild cats, whether they like a master or not is not important. As long as there is enough food to eat, later kittens will gradually accept the definition of things that become masters. But in fact, the kitten is not so smooth. In medieval Europe, they were regarded as the embodiment of witches. So, in order to dispel their doubts, they began to kill in large numbers.

Third, summarize. Actually, it's normal for a new kitten. As cats and their owners live under the same roof for longer and longer, these kittens gradually realize that their owners are good to them. Moreover, if these wild cats live outside, they are likely to be killed by more powerful wild animals. However, if they are adopted, they will no longer be afraid, and there will be endless food.
