From wikipedia
Cats are not domesticated though or not fully domesticated. They are tame.
this is a stupid take especially considering that "tame" usually literally just means domesticated
in fact the first definition for "tame" in every dictionary i've looked up just has the word "domesticated" as the meaning for tame. "domesticate" and "tame" are also indirectly cognates, they both ultimately derive from PIE *dem(h₂), just "domesticate" is Latinate and "tame" is Germanic, but that's more of a fun fact than a relevant indicator of meaning.
we selectively bred cats to fit our wants/needs, they live in our house and pester us to support their lifestyle, what about that isn't domestication
