The cats inhabit the Earth for almost 35 million years. The caressing pussycat until today has wild and evil relative, which lives in the European forests - this is the wild cat. It is bigger, with thicker, fuzzy tail with a black ring-like stripe and it has longer whiskers. The Bulgarian wild cat is brown coal with darker stripes. Despite that the wild cat easy crossbreeds with the domestic cats, it is not their ancestor. The domestication of the cat has happened in ancient Egypt from the wild Nubian cat. Although it lives near the marshes it is an enemy for the rodents and its quality was valued from the Egypt farmers. In the European countries the domestic cat came after the first century.
