Have you noticed that many cats have white “socks” on their paws? In fact, this is due to evolutionary
According to a writer for BBC Science Focus Magazine,white “socks” on the paws of cats – the result of domestication. Animals that were domesticated 10 thousand years ago were crossed. This was done to make them more friendly and calm. But in the end they also developed white spots on their paws.
People liked such unusual markings, so they began to breed such cats further. Over time, such white "socks" and spots began to appear in more and more animals.
