Episode notes

Dogs and cats are both domesticated, four-legged, fur-bearing mammals.

Beyond that, they really don’t have much in common. One of the things that they don’t have in common is how they wound up in the lives of humans.

Cats established their relationship with humans at a totally different point in history and for a totally different reason.

Learn more about the domestication of cats and how these wild animals wound up as pets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
