Facts first:

  • Lions can hybridise with tigers.
  • Tigers can hybridise with leopards.
  • Leopards can hybridise with pumas.
  • Pumas are closer relatives to domestic cats than ocelots.
  • Domestic cats can hybridise with ocelots.
  • Some feline hybrids are fertile.

Now, I don't know if viable or not, but I really want people to breed lion manes all the way into the domestic cat species. Why should I get a maine coon, if I could get a mane coon instead???
