Actually, current estimates shows us dog domestication happened some time around 30000 years ago while cats were domesticated at the dawn of human civilizations, around 12000 years ago, so less than 20000 years of difference. Also, dogs were domesticated in multiple regions at different times, whereas cats are exclusive to two domestication events. I’m open to evidence of the contrary, of course.
The real difference is dogs have had about 30,000 more years of domesticated selective breeding.
Yeah, they weren’t exactly easy to handle from the beginning.

I asked my cat and they said they didn’t remember it that way, but refused to say any more. Then ran off into the closet and disappeared.
Aslan?
