It seems like you're referring to the domestication of cats and the relationship between humans and these animals over time. Cats have been associated with humans for thousands of years, primarily for their ability to control pests. The process of domestication has led to the various breeds of cats we see today, but they have largely retained a level of independence that distinguishes them from other domesticated animals, like dogs.
