The domesticated form of the cat has been called “domestic” or “household,” and its ancestors have been referred to as “wildcats.” Housecat refers specifically to cats kept inside houses; outside cats are usually called feral cats.

What is the Relationship of Cats with Humans?
The cat is a very social animal, and it has been domesticated for thousands of years. The earliest evidence of the domestic cat dates back to around 10,000 BC in Egypt. It was not until about 3200 BC that people began keeping them as pets. Cats were first observed by nomadic tribes who lived on hunting grounds to hunt small animals such as rabbits or rodents. They also ate birds and fish. Nowadays, cats are used as pets, and people say that the presence of cats completes their home. People treat cats as their Children.
Cats are Domesticated for a different purpose.
Breeds can be divided into two groups: those bred primarily for hunting or companionship purposes and those for appearance. Hunting breeds tend to be larger and heavier than companion breeds, and companion breeds typically weigh less than hunting species average.
Hunting breeds usually hunt birds, although some will take smaller prey. They are
generally used for pest control, including rodenticide poisoning. Some hunting
breeds are trained to retrieve game shot by hunters.
