Is a cat man made

Answer 1

In a sense, all domesticated animals and plants and even some bacteria and yeasts are "man made" by selective breeding for certain characteristics that never existed in nature. Docility for example, gets wiped out in the wild very quickly. The cat seems to have been "invented" by the Egyptians about 4000 years ago. The gives a clue why cats are so different from dogs, which were domesticated at least 20,000 years earlier.

Answer 2

No, cats are not man-made. They are a species that has evolved naturally over thousands of years through selective breeding and natural selection. Domestic cats (Felis catus) are descendants of wild cats, and their domestication process began around 9,000 years ago.
