Cats
The history of felines.
Cats
Traditionally, historians tended to think that ancient Egypt was the site of cat domestication, owing to the clear depictions of house cats in Egyptian paintings about 3,600 years old. However, in 2004, a Neolithic grave was excavated in Shillourokambos, Cyprus, that contained the skeletons, laid close to one another, of both a human and a cat. The grave is estimated to be 9,500 years old, pushing back the earliest known feline–human association significantly.
What are feral cats?
Feral cats are domestic cats that were born in or have reverted to a wild state. They are unfamiliar with and wary of humans and roam freely in urban areas.

Food / Dieting
Domestic cats mainly eat cat food which you can buy in most shops. They will probably try and catch mice and small birds, but they won't be the most common thing that they eat.
Feral cats will probably aim to eat birds and small rodents. They may try and eat cat food every so often, when their food supply is low, but it wouldn't be their first choice of food.
A big cat's food will depend on where they are situated or the type of cat that they are. For instance, a lion would go for a zebra or deer. Where as an ocelot will eat what ever food is available in it's natural habitat.
