How did cats and dogs become house pets?

Answer 1

Cats actually domesticated themselves from Eastern Asia. Their instincts and intelligence

taught them that if they wanted to gain access to food more readily, they must befriend mankind. Through the evolutionary processes, they eventually became domesticated enough through their own instinctual drives to gain access to our home and our lives. I am unsure of how dogs became our pets. I do believe they were domesticated before felines however.

My cat info is hard to believe but it is true!

Answer 2

Domestic dogs are related to wolves. Thousands of years ago people invited wolves into their homes, and started to breed from the ones which were the best for what they wanted. They were probably used for hunting at first, but gradually other jobs were found for them, not least to be companions.

Answer 3

Cats and dogs were domesticated for different reasons. Cats likely domesticated themselves as they were attracted to human settlements for the abundant prey that would be nearby. Dogs, on the other hand, were domesticated from wolves by early humans for tasks such as hunting, protection, and companionship. Over time, these relationships evolved into the pets we know today.

Answer 4

Not really, Over the years if you leave your dog outside it will become a guard dog.
