Descending approximately 4,000 years ago from the African wildcat, it has been an exceedingly short time for the domestic cat with respect to genetic evolution and it scarcely seems sufficient to allow the marked physical changes that transformed the animal.

1) domestic cat has had an exceedingly short time for its genetic evolution
2) domestic cat has been scarcely sufficient for the marked physical changes in the animal

It is not the domestic cat, but genetic evolution has marked physical changes in the animal.

And descending imply an on-going process.
