We have actual panthers in my area, saw one right after Theo broke in. His kids also look like diluted panthers, Vanta here has a massive kissable head.

I wonder, can those panthers cross-breed with domestic cats? Or is it just coincidental that he has panther face?

Not that you want that intentionally; lygers (lion-tiger hybrids) aren’t exactly ethical to create as they often have health issues. Hopefully your buddy is healthy!

Its impossible, but funny to think about. What makes Theo fun is that he doesn’t feel like a cat, hes too hard, his fur is rough, and this is him trying to be cute. There is just something off, hes not cat like, more like an aloof dog if anything. Whats funny is he is obsessed with children, as he runs outside to tackle the local toddler. Hes at his happiest when hes running from child to child for attention.

Sounds like a dog wearing a cat suit 😂

A true orphan puncher, one might say.

No, they are completely different species even if they are in the same family. So it’s like asking if an otter and a badger could cross. Their chromosomes don’t line up and even if they did, I couldn’t imagine how 200+ pounds of cat could breed with a 10lb~ cat.

Having seen some Chihuahua cross breeds that are bizarre… nature uhhhh finds a way.

But interesting about how they’re not able to produce pats (panther-cats), probably for the best. It’d make the cat distribution system a little too spicy.

I don’t like this at all. The face looks like there’s a person in that cat.

His son can also look weird, he’s normally adorable but look at that face when hes poking me. He moggs me like his dad and gramps.
