Explains why they self-domesticated more than once in different parts of the world!

Domesticated is a bit of a stretch. 😜
They tolerate us, and maybe often love us, but would not hesitate to survive without us.

They could find a way out but they don’t because they like us and I think that makes them special. Like even if a neighbor feeds them it’s us they come back home to so their love is not motivated by just food and shelter.
