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?

Like wild dogs. If a parent is killed in a trap, sometimes the pups/kittens ate found alive.

There was a street cat that recently gave birth. My wife began feeding them. Even though we gave them food, they were skittish and avoided us, except one of them was friendly.

We adopted the friendly one. Its normal for a litter of pups/kittens to have physical variations, and to also have personality variations.

If you breed only friendly versions of a wild animal, over time they will become instinctively friendly towards humans
