Housecats

The first elves do not seem to have held housecats for pets, though they certainly knew the wildcats of the forests, mountains and plains but do never seem to have tried to tame these.Only in Aman they seem to have become used to semi-tame kittens living about the elven settlements.The culture to at first have seem to known tamed housecats as pets were the Numenoreans, though it it unknown if the numenorean cat descended from the intelligent kittens of Aman -as some scholars believed - or from creatures found on the coasts of Middle-earth - and descending from the fell-cats of Angband as the other faction among the wise often proposed. However by the late third Age the domesticated cat or Housecat had become common throughout the Westlands, from the Shire and Bree to Umbar and Wilderland.
