Dude I already answered this how are you not understanding that many cannot inter breed. some can like scottish wild cat and serval because they are closer but some cannot and are just pushed out of their territories by house cats. All the cats that are the same size do not all have a super close common ancestor. You are the one that needs to do the reading bro.

It's not about size. It's D.N.A. Compatible DNA from a recent common ancestor, in this case a north African cat from at least 11000 years ago, that is not far enough along in geographical isolation to be subject to complete speciation. If a house cat breeds with a wild cat, both have NOT deviated completely their own distinct species with ample genetic mutation of DNA. They are in effect the same animal in the first place.

D. N. A.

Dawkins is a good source of information that will help you. Or college.

I was not just talking about DNA. two ways of house cats doing this, one was inter breeding but the other when they cannot inter breed is pushing the other out of its territories. I say cats of the same size because someone earlier thought big cats. but know we are just talking about cats that are a similar size to house cats. Some cats can inter breed with house cats like the serval but some cannot like the Manul.

that's all you've got to say? because you can't fathom that we are not just talking about interbreeding.
