It is thought that the oldest "true" cat was Proailurus. It lived in what is now Europe and Asia, around 25 million years ago. It was a small predator, slightly larger than a modern domestic cat.
Proailurus is thought to be to be a likely ancestor to Pseudaelurus, prehistoric cat that lived 20-8 million years ago. Pseudaelurus is the ancestor of today's cats, as well as the famous sabre-tooth cats.
Domestic cats have the near eastern wildcat as their ancestor. This wild animal lives in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other countries in the Mid East. Cats were domesticated about ten thousand years ago.
Felines start showing up in the fossil record about 65 million years ago - about the same time as canines. The housecat took until much more recent times, since its evolution is tied to humans.
