Cats and Corn

It seems Cats domesticated Mankind. Sought out our Grain Stores in the Fertile Crescent thus begining a relationship. That has lasted thousands of years.
But it was not repeated elsewhere.
Whilst wiki says they are harmless. I remember the Farm boys had a
distinct dislike, of them. Wildcats are extinct in Ireland.

The word cat derives from Old English catt, which belongs to a group
of related words in European languages, including Welsh cath,
Spanish gato, Basque katu, Byzantine Greek êÜôôá, Old Irish cat,
German Katze, and Old Church Slavonic kotka. The ultimate source of
all these terms is unknown,[38] although it may be linked to the
ancient Nubian kadis and the Berber kadiska.[39]
