Comment on How do I get the damn cat to understand I can feed myself?
schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoWhat specific wild cat are you talking about in Europe? Do you mean feral domesticated cats (which are essentially this one small African cat)? Or larger critters like bobcats?

The European wild cat - Felis silvestris.
Interestingly it seems that they avoided interbreeding with domestic cats for over 2k years.

Ah, the guy looks like a roided up house cat from the videos I’ve seen, but maybe I’ve been looking at the hybridized ones in the wild on youtube.
The Americas don’t have cats that quite that small, I don’t think, though Bobcats get close.
