This story about the domestication of cats leaves me to wonder about tolerance rather than "taming".The human home always had mice and I am sure that wild cats were probably tolerated long before they became pets.
When the cats around but there are no mice the home owner may just as well throw a scrap of food at the wild cat to keep him around.
