Can a Tiger have a baby with a cat?

Feline hybrids aren’t found in nature. Lions and tigers don’t overlap in the wild (except in India’s Gir Forest, where until now no ligers have been found). And big cats in the same territory don’t cross the species line—they’re not interested in each other, just as humans aren’t drawn to chimps.

Do Tigers kill domestic cats?

Lions, tigers, jaguars, pumas, leopards, and other big cats can kill, eat or prey upon a house cat, but they usually don’t. This is because of the small size, nonavailability, similar appearance, and non-delicious nature of cat meat.

Can a house cat mate with a big cat?

The Chausie hybrid resulted from crossbreeding a Jungle Cat (Felis chaus, a wild cat native to the Middle East, South and Southeast Asis, and southern China) with the Domestic cat.

Can a bobcat mate with a domestic cat?

Domestic x Bobcat/Lynx Hybrids. The Bobcat (F Rufus) will mate with domestic cats and there are several breeds that have claimed to be descended from such matings; none have stood the scrutiny of genetic testing. Although the two species may mate they do not seem to be interfertile.
