So let’s get started to learn how to draw a cat. Cats were first domesticated in Egypt, where they soon spread to Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world. Cats have powerful night vision, allowing them to see at light levels six times lower than what a human needs in order to see. We usually think of cats as pretty and funny, so cats are often cartoon characters.
