What are the differences between wild cats and domestic cats?

There really aren't many differences. The overall body shape is the same, their diets are the same, and a domestic cat will eat and hunt food in much the same manner as a wild one. There are some differences, though. The main difference is that wild cats cannot be domesticated, whereas domestic cats have evolved and adapted to live alongside humans. Wild cats vary wildly in size, from smaller than a domestic cat to many times bigger, whereas domestic cats are mostly similar in size. Some coat patterns found on a domestic cat are never found in the wild, such as coloured points found on a Siamese cat. Big cats, such as lions, tigers and leopards, can roar but cannot purr, but smaller species of wild cat can indeed purr just like our domestic cats.
