By "lived in a bush and hunted for his meals" he is referring to that one Sunday morning the owner forgot to fill his food bowl.

That kitty's got a clipped ear, so at some point, he was a humanless cat. He was Trap/Neuter/Returned- they clip the ear like that before they release them so that they know they don't have to do that one again.

Who domesticated who

Cats are only considered partially domesticated, and they basically domesticated themselves. They naturally decided to live near human settlements to prey on mice/etc that went after people's grain.

In comparison, dogs are conaidered fully domesticated, and we're domesticated by humans.

Things started to change rapidly in the late 19th century though when Brits decided to make cat fancy.
