CTRL+F "domestication" then "rats"
Felines are only partially domesticated. From my research into the subject, including the article about the first cat skeleton found with no teeth, indicating humans had fed it, is that they only associate with us because of our habit of debris and sloppiness that attracts their prey. Otherwise, feral felines are still unrepentant killing machines that will try and trip you while walking up the stairs just to feed them so they'll stop yowling.
Source: Personal experience with a feral kitten I have "domesticated" and would probably feed on my corpse for a few days if I trip and fall and die even though she's ~11 human years now.
- _jal 6y agoIt is a macabre topic, but cats and dogs don't need to be feral to eat your corpse if you die. Google around, it is not uncommon. For that matter, imagine you being trapped somewhere you can't care for yourself, with a corpse. What do you do? People have chosen both paths.

- 6stringmerc 6y agoOh I get it, but my Corgi-Pug rescue mutt doesn't ever seem to intentionally try to trip me. My lovely kitty on the other hand, I wonder sometimes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that domesticated dogs ain't the same as feral cats that enjoy a symbiotic relationship. A dog is a great source of oxytocin when it looks at you and wags its tail. A cat decides whether or not they want anything to do with you, and in my case, that desire is to sit on my chest and lick my chin with a tongue that feels like sandpaper. They both love attention and enjoy affection, they just express it in different ways.
