There is some evidence, but there is also a lot of evidence to dogs having a lot of selection pressure put on them by humans, even before all the relatively modern breeds. Dogs have more expressive faces than cats (or wild dogs), use expressions that are easily read by humans, and can read human expressions. Cats still often look like their wild cousins.

There is also good evidence that cats were domesticated during the Neolithic revolution, while dogs were domesticated much earlier, while hunter-gatherers were the norm. So it could be that their domestication just hasn’t progressed as much as dogs’ and other animals’ have.
