Modern house cats are semi-mostly domesticated. They are accustomed to house life and communal company as much as humans are. Same goes for domesticated canines.

Your entire comment screams of a PETA ad warning about cruelty to ferrets without realizing that domesticated ferrets literally can and will not survive in nature in 99% of cases. Their "wild" instincts are gone. Cats aren't nearly as helpless, but are similarly co-evolved to domestic life.
