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.
Cats are believed to have been domesticated around 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, where they were revered for their hunting abilities and protection against pests. Over time, cats spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration, eventually becoming popular companion animals. Today, cats continue to be valued for their independent and affectionate nature.
cats evolved from several different ancient ancestors, such as Dinicitis and Smilodon, which existed tens to hundreds of millions of years ago. more recently, they descended from strains of Asian, African, and European Wild Cats, which closely resembled modern cats. this occured at about the time the first humans were established, and this was when the domestication of cats began.
