I don't know about cats but I looked at non-netric traits in pigs and found
differences betweeen several modern breeds as well as in archaeological
specimens. If you want more info please contact me.
Or my thesis is in UCL/UL library;
Warman S. 2000 'Morphometric investigation of dental variation to examine
genetic relationships between pig populations' PhD University College London
Institute of Archaeology.
