Cats were domesticated much more recently than dogs. Dogs were domesticated 20k-40k years ago, cats at most 10k years ago.

Not just that, but the nature of domestication is different. Cats just started living close to humans because they could hunt rodents that ate grain, and weren't domesticated in the same sense as dogs.
