No domestic species divides opinions more than the cat. They are currently the most popular pet in the world, but at the same time are one of the most invasive species on the planet. So how can we reconcile these two very different aspects of the cat? Well, it all comes back to the process of domestication! (Note that though cats share our homes, and are thus domestic, they are in fact not fully domesticated: The tabby on the couch still has tiger in her heart.)
