What do these cats do outside in nature when they can't find any soap?
Pretty sure they don't exist in nature.
IIRC the founding animal was a street cat that was adopted. So people were only indirectly responsible.
Eta: Partially true. But there was a whole lot of breeding fuckery to stabilize the mutation.

Wow, that thing is a rabbit hole! Thanks for sharing
And with it came the oil thing?
I'd think all cats naturally do the oil thing to protect their fur
Yup. For a lot of cats the layers are oil, undercoat, main coat. The undercoat is a very short, dense and wiry coat of fur to stop things getting from the main coat to the skin.
The undercoat, as you can imagine, also absorbs a lot of the oil. Most people who are allergic to cats are actually allergic to the oil.
Also, in very specific breeds, there can be 3 layers of fur (like Siberian, for example).
Yeah, wikipedia tells me its a breed of a breed of breeds
I mean, if you compare wildcat > sphynx cat with elves > orks..
Orks are a type of sapient, psychic fungus, though.
Humans strike again!
Bad humans! 💦🔫
They're not natural. These are the result of human breeding. They've never had to exist in nature.
Whatever they want. They are cats after all.
