To be that guy, small felines never were big felines. Domestic kitties do not descend from people-eating ones.

Dogs have masters; cats have servants.
Domestication is often thought of as a unilateral relationship. Like all relationships, it goes both ways.
We have domesticated cows and wheat. Now their population has reached tremendous size. So has our population. We both need the other species to survive. We need them, and they need us.
You could definitely take the perspective that we have been domesticated. For example, plants have domesticated us by feeding us.
