Как человек приручил кошкуDespite the fact that the joint history of cats and humans dates back millennia, despite all the research, people still do not know when and how early man could tame cat. Although it managed? Is another question.But where science is powerless to the aid of legends and stories that can explain almost everything.Most of these legends of taming cats know as much as two.One of them — King's Indian — tells us that once upon a time a cat and a tiger lived together. One big brother Tiger ill. His shivering and he could not get warm. We had to make fire and make a fire. But the secret of fire possessed only human. And then the cat decided to take a desperate step — go to the people and steal from them a few pieces of coal for the fire.The house, which wandered into a cat, there was nobody. And she was about to grab it, why they came, when he saw on the floor, tasty fish. Not resist the temptation to eat a cat a fish, and then a little nap near the fire. But then she thought of his sick brother tiger, and, seizing some embers, rushed to him.Spreading the fire and warmed tiger cat said that he is going to live with people. They are always warm and have food. So do not have to worry about more pressing mice. And the cat went to conquer the hearts of men, which, I must say, it succeeded brilliantly.According to the second legend goes that the little Indian boy from Arizona caught under a mountain of small wild animal and brought it home. His father told him that it was a cat that eats rodents, and that such an animal would be very handy in the economy.Without thinking, the boy locked the cat and went to catch her prey. He fed it to the hands of a few days, until the cat did not discard their independence and pleaded not pets.Both legends have a right to exist. But I somehow more inclined to the first version. Still cat, in my opinion, he still had not domesticated. They just allow us to live with them, feed them and otherwise grooming.
