Because keeping a pedophile as a pet is just silly.

We didn't pick them, they picked us by hanging around our ancestors camps to scavenge garbage.

Easier to feed and keep in the house. Imagine trying to keep grazers fed in new york city.

Because we are predators too. Herbivores are our food, predators are our buddies.

Prey animals are very skittish, and they are hard to get them to trust you. Source: Raised rabbits for many years.

Dogs and cats can't survive on small amounts of "grazing" and scraps from humans. Most animals we have kept around eat things we won't/can't/shouldn't.

All of the reasons listed here are great. also remember that most herbivores need to constantly graze and feed, this makes them a horrible house pet. They also shit a lot more than predators, since their food is very fibrous and not very nutritious. Predator's food is very nutritious and less fibrous which means less shitting.

These reasons are definitely not the main reasons, but I'm sure they factor in somewhere.

To help us kill of course. Cats were domesticated to kill mice and other vermin. Dogs were domesticated to help us hunt and herd other animals.
