Cat Anatomy and Physiology Overview by masind is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cat-like animals first emerged around 65 million years ago. Through evolution, cats developed into highly efficient solitary hunters with keen senses and strong muscular bodies. The domestic cat is descended from the African wildcat, which was first domesticated in Egypt around 8,000 years ago. Cats went through various evolutionary stages, including the Miacids that lived 65 million years ago, and the Dinictis and Felidae lines that emerged more recently and ultimately led to modern cats.
