Slow to answer. Worth waiting for.
African Wildcat
Wild species · No. 70 / 89
The rarest pull in the album. Most people never draw one. You had about a 1-in-13 chance of drawing African Wildcat as The Old Soul — one of 5 cats you could have become.
You've been quiet at parties since you were ten. Friends bring you their hardest questions because you don't rush to answer them and you don't pretend to know things you don't. You like long conversations, slow mornings, and the kind of books that take a year to finish. You're rarely in a hurry. People who spend time around you tend to slow down too.
Why a African Wildcat?
The ancestor of every domestic cat on earth. African Wildcats are small, sandy-coated, and resemble large tabby house cats, but they're a distinct wild species. They live across Africa and the Middle East, and they're the cats that first formed an association with humans roughly 10,000 years ago as agriculture began.
Did you know
DNA studies have confirmed that all modern domestic cats descend from African Wildcats in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East. The relationship between cats and humans is essentially symbiotic rather than truly domesticated. Even today, house cats remain genetically nearly identical to their wild ancestors.
