Breeding a dog with a wolf results in an animal that eventually forgets its training, or simply ignores instructions because it’s bored. Domestic cats are like that already, so what difference does breeding one with a serval or jungle cat make?

Both of the aforementioned species are near the low end of the felid size spectrum, btw.

I guess the difference is whether it is going to eat the baby.

But feral cats account for plenty of wildlife/small game deaths, introducing another, potentially more efficient hunter into the North American ecosystem is simply not a smart or sound idea. Among other reasons, if O`Bozo keeps up his efforts, we may well need that small game soon. Don`t like the idea of people having to compete with Kitteh and his bigger cousins for rabbit or squirrel stew.

Hmmmmmm ... that describes my beagle pretty well and I'm pretty sure that there hasn't been a wolf in her lineage for the past few thousand years.

I would think that it would take several generations removed from a wild to get that “wild” out of them.

But just the same, once it figures out that it can kick your butt, it will.
