Domestic cats and dogs are more closely related than cats and rats. Cats and dogs diverge at Order Carnivora, cats to Feliformia and dogs to caniformia. Cats and rats, on the other hand diverge at Infraclass Eutheria, rats to Rodentia and cats to Carnivora.

(Dogs belong to Genus Canis, cats to Genus Felis, and rats to Genus Rattus.)

Cats and dogs both descend from a weasel-like mammal known as cynodictis.
