The evolution of the House Cat

How did cats come to be domesticated? They don't take direction, they neither protect us nor aid in the hunt.
Maybe we're just amused by creatures that are so aloof.  As for the cats -- they're just in it for the mice.

Personally, I'm waiting for them to offer a Pulp Fiction scent -- yellowing newsprint, with just a hint of gunpowder, ozone, and cheap perfume.  :-)
