    Cause cars haven’t been domesticated, just tamed or whatever. If cats where domesticated to the extent of dogs we would have way more breeds.

      It might be more to do with dogs having a very high degree of genetic plasticity, unusually so. I remember an interesting paper on it. This just doesn’t seem to be the case with cats.
