    DNA traces origin of domestic cat

    I was interested in this story posted on the BBC's website last night. A new study has just been published which suggests that the ancestry of today's domestic cats could stretch back to well over 100,000 years ago.

    It is thought that at least five females from the fertile crescent region gave rise to all the domestic cats alive today.
