House cats and big cats don't behave very differently. https://lithub.com/house-cats-and-wild-cats-arent-actually-that-different/ https://lithub.com/house-cats

  Uh, that article is not about house cats vs big cats. The still-extant ancestral species of the domestic cat, F. lybica, is a small wildcat, as were its ancestors, and as such a predator but not an apex predator. Big cats, which typically are apex predators in their respective ecosystems, are a wholly separate branch of the felid family.

    Recent research showed that house cats share nearly 95 or was it 96% of their DNA with big cats

      The same is true of humans and orangutans, that comparatively small percentage can clearly account for massive differences in behavior and intelligence.

      Sounds like a lot, until you realize they share 90% with humans.
