While the African wildcat's natural range is in North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia, domestic cats were selectively bred from these wildcats over thousands of years.
Therefore, domestic cats have adapted to a wide variety of habitats around the world, including:
* Urban environments: Parks, gardens, homes
* Rural areas: Farms, forests, grasslands
* Suburban areas: Yards, homes, streets
* Indoor environments: Houses, apartments
Domestic cats are highly adaptable and have successfully colonized many diverse environments due to their human companionship.
