Although this may seem like a statement of the obvious, scientists have used comparative analysis of the complete genomes or both dogs and cats and concluded that cats are closer to wild animals than dogs are.

Perhaps cats really aren’t as wild as we think but humans just more easily manipulated than other types of creatures.
