"Domesticated" indoor kept pet cats have no genetic traces of their domestication. They are just stunted emotionally having kept dependence on you as a surrogate parent and never gone out on their own.

If you put them in the wild and stop carrying for them they finish growing up.

That is one of the reasons why a pet cat can survive in the wild while a pet dog which is heavily genetically modified cannot.

I think about that a lot when I talk to people who want the government to solve their problems. I used to have my parents solve all my problems too.
