The domestic cat is found throughout the world and has become one of the most important companion animals in modern households. Archaeological evidence suggests that the domestication of felines took place in the Near East approximately 9,000-10,000 years ago. Initially, the relationship between humans and cats was beneficial in helping humans control crop-destroying rodents, and this links the evolutionary fate of cats to the development of human civilization. Although many present-day cats have become pets and are highly intimate with people, modern cats are not fully domesticated in the classical sense. In addition, restrictive artificial selection on many phenotypes of felines has reduced their genetic diversity, leading to an increased incidence of hereditary diseases in felines. The exploitation of modern molecular biology techniques, such as genome sequencing techniques, gene editing techniques, and genetic statistical methods, provides a better understanding of the genetic info
