Cats aren't really domesticated. Out of many, many cat species we just found one that's well aligned with humans and it spread with humans to the whole world. No other cat species plays well with humans and none shows any signs of domestication.
Citation required for claim that runs counter to most scientific evidence.
Sure thing. That one specific cat species was (and still is) Felis silvestris lybica. All domestic cats come from it and it's still the friendliest towards humans, out of all cat species. They still can and commonly bread with each other when they live in the same area.

So, what was your evidence again?
Dogs are genetically the same species: Canis familiaris, a type of grey wolf. They can breed with wolves, and other closely related canines.
