Where did the first domestic shorthair cats originate from, and who were the first to domesticate them? Did they come in a variety of colors or were all cats at one time one color and later bred for more colors/styles (like what we did with the wolf making all those different colored/breeds of dogs)
I know first thing you think with cats is the Egyptians keeping/worshipping them, but I thought those cats were the sphinx cats, not domestic shorthairs.
Were domestic shorthairs the result of breeding sphinx cats with hair?
