ELI5: How were wildcats domesticated?

If its in their DNA to hunt and be ferocious how were people able to make it so those traits became passive or safe for them to be around humans?

Humans didn't do much. Cats just kinda showed up and helped out with the rodents, people realized that this is cool because rodents were a big issue. Been friends with cats ever since.

See how the more agrarian cultures - like ancient Egypt - valued cats more. Why? Because rodents.
