The African wildcat appears to have diverged from the other subspecies about 131,000 years ago. Some individual African wildcats were first domesticated about 10,000 years ago in the Near East, and are the ancestors of the domestic cat. Remains of domesticated cats were found in human burials in Cyprus that are estimated to have been established by Neolithic farmers about 9,500 years ago. Crossings between domestic cats and African wildcats are still common today.
Even so, take precise measurements of height, width and depth before going shopping: While the standard size dishwasher is about 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 35 inches high (with adjustable-height legs), those are approximate dimensions.
These machines are ideally suited to small apartments or homes or even RVs. They measure 18 inches wide, taking up between two-thirds to half as much space as a full-size standard dishwasher. The typical depth is 22 1/2 inches and height is 32 1/2 inches. Despite the smaller size, compact dishwashers operate in roughly the same manner as full-size machines, simply holding slightly fewer dishes. A normal load corresponds to around eight place settings.
