Report Violation

About 10,000 years ago all cats were wild. Then one of them crept into a Near East village that was raising wheat and barley. Those grains attract rodents, which are even less useful than cats. The cat began eating mice and rats, thereby protecting the grain, and the people began domesticating the cat. Such is the contention of Carlos A. Driscoll of the National Cancer Institute who spent six years tracking down down where domestic cats came from, a New York Times story says. As evolution continued, the world is left with a half billion house cats and 36 varieties of wild cats, which are now threatened with extinction. I want to go on record saying I do not favor extinction of house cats, except in my neighborhood, notwithstanding our nearly worthless cat. Posted by Steve E. Swenson
