  • 1 the Origin and Evolution of the Domestic Cat
    1 The Origin and Evolution of the Domestic Cat There are approximately 40 different species of the cat family, classification Felidae (Table 1.1), all of which are descended from a leopard-like predator Pseudaelurus that existed in South-east Asia around 11 million years ago (O’Brien and Johnson, 2007). Other than the domestic cat, the most well known of the Felidae are the big cats such as lions, tigers and panthers, sub-classification Panthera. But the cat family also includes a large number of small cats, including a group commonly known as the wildcats, sub-classification Felis silvestris (Table 1.2). Physical similarity suggests that the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) originally derived from one or more than one of these small wildcats. DNA examination shows that it is most closely related to the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), which has almost identical DNA, indicating that the African wildcat is the domestic cat’s primary ancestor (Lipinski et al., 2008). The African Wildcat The African wildcat is still in existence today and is a solitary and highly territorial animal indigenous to areas of North Africa and the Near East, the region where domestication of the cat is believed to have first taken place (Driscoll et al., 2007; Faure and Kitchener, 2009). It is primarily a nocturnal hunter that preys mainly on rodents but it will also eat insects, reptiles and other mammals including the young of small antelopes. Also known as the Arabian or North African wildcat, it is similar in appearance to a domestic tabby, with a striped grey/sandy-coloured coat, but is slightly larger and with longer legs (Fig.

CASE Chairperson Before the Senate Committees on AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT and PUBLIC SAFETY, INTERGOVERNMENTAL, AND MILITARY AFFAIRS Wednesday, March 21, 2018 1:15 PM State Capitol, Conference Room 224 In consideration of HOUSE BILL 2593, HOUSE DRAFT 1 RELATING TO FERAL CATS House Bill 2593, House Draft 1 proposes to have an unspecified agency contract with a nonprofit animal rescue group to oversee caretakers of feral cats and would exempt those caretakers from state laws and county ordinances related to the feeding and confinement of cats. This measure would also establish a formal trap-sterilize-return process. The Department of Land and Natural Resources (Department) strongly opposes this measure. Feral cats are problematic in Hawaii for a number of reasons: they are predators of native wildlife, including species protected under federal law; they are hosts of parasites that can threaten both wildlife and humans; and "managed" colonies on public lands leave fecal matter in some of our most valuable natural areas, including an estimated 14 tons of cat feces each year in State Parks alone.

  • Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat
    UPTEC X 12 012 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2012 Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Carolin Johansson Molecular Biotechnology Programme Uppsala University School of Engineering UPTEC X 12 012 Date of issue 2012-06 Author Carolin Johansson Title (English) Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Title (Swedish) Abstract This study presents mitochondrial genome sequences from 22 Egyptian house cats with the aim of resolving the uncertain origin of the contemporary world-wide population of Domestic cats. Together with data from earlier studies it has been possible to confirm some of the previously suggested haplotype identifications and phylogeny of the Domestic cat lineage. Moreover, by applying a molecular clock, it is proposed that the Domestic cat lineage has experienced several expansions representing domestication and/or breeding in pre-historical and historical times, seemingly in concordance with theories of a domestication origin in the Neolithic Middle East and in Pharaonic Egypt. In addition, the present study also demonstrates the possibility of retrieving long polynucleotide sequences from hair shafts and a time-efficient way to amplify a complete feline mitochondrial genome.

  • Leonardo Da Vinci's Masterpiece
    Joseph Jordania (2014). In: Tigers, Lions and Humans: History of Rivalry, Conflict, Reverence and Love. Logos Publishing. ISBN 978-9941-437-60-1 Leonardo Da Vinci’s Masterpiece If there are very few humans whom we can trust in distinguishing true masterpieces from other great works of art, Leonardo Da Vinci is certainly one of them. Leonardo combined the mind of a brilliant scholar with the mind of visionary artist and is rightly considered one of the greatest geniuses of humankind. Although Leonardo left us a great number of true masterpieces, we do not know many phenomena or works of art Leonardo appreciated himself as “masterpieces.” We know two instances when Leonardo directly acknowledged something to be a true masterpiece. The first case is the anatomy of human foot: “Human foot is a masterpiece of engineering” declared da Vinci. Any contemporary scholar, biologist or engineer would agree with these words. In the second case Leonardo used his highest praise for a cat: “Little feline is a masterpiece.” Leonardo was by no means the only scholar or artist who was fascinated by cats. Hundreds or even thousands of writers, poets, musicians, scholars, and politicians left us quotes that capture the human fascination with cats. To fill the love and reverence towards cats that we humans have, it is best to hear the words of these scholars, writers, poets and artists about cats. JORDANIA, Joseph (2014) Joseph Jordania (2014).

Cats in Ancient Egypt You might think that cats get a ridiculous amount of attention from people today but that’s nothing compared to how they were treated in ancient Egypt. Since cats were believed to represent the Egyptian war goddess Bastet, the ancient Egyptians literally worshipped cats. Their admiration was expressed in ways that we might find funny or shocking today. They liked cats so much that killing a cat in ancient Egypt, even on accident, was punishable by death. The Greek historian Herodotus wrote that when a cat passed away, the household would go into mourning as though a member of the family had died. Family members would even shave off their eyebrows to show their loss. Another way in which ancient Egyptians showed love and respect for cats was through mummification. Cats were often mummified after dying, a process normally reserved for kings and nobles. Hundreds of thousands of cat mummies have been found preserved in and around Egypt. So the next time you see someone fawning over a cat video on YouTube, remember that it could be worse.

Cat “domestication” is associated with the the Near East,13 however, independent domestications may be development of societies, 10,000 – 12,000 years ago. One site plausible due to the significant genetic distinction of cats in of origin seems definitive, the Near East, however, as there the Far East and the recent archeological find in China that were independent sites of agricultural development and associates cats with humans in an ancient agricultural site.5 various wildcat species inhabited those regions, multiple Different domestication events from many and perhaps domestications seem likely for the cat.
