Cats are descended from smaller fellows, more like the sand cat and jungle cat than mountain lions.

Ah, I knew mountain lion wasn't accurate, but my comment still stands with a sand cat or jungle cat. Not quite as intimidating, but I would still be a little afraid if a raccoon or a badger walked through my door and laid down on my hearth.

Nasty little critters! But then you notice one variety of nasty little critter eats a hell of a lot of mice, which are a much worse scourge... so maybe, like you said, you give it a little space to keep warm in the cold months...

And then before you know it, your descendants are worshipping the furry little manipulators!
