The Highlander cat is a deliberate cross between the Desert Lynx and the Jungle Curl breeds. The following is a list of experimental cat breeds and crossbreeds [1] that do not have the recognition of any major national or international cat registries, such as The International Cat Association (TICA) in the US, Europe, and Australasia; the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF) in the UK ...

The cat (Felis catus), also referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species of the family Felidae . Advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC.
Cats with the homozygous genotype (MM) die before birth, and stillborn kittens show gross abnormalities of the central nervous system. [3] Cats with the heterozygous genotype (Mm) show severely shortened tail length, ranging from taillessness to a partial, stumpy tail.

[1] [2] This hybridization typically produces large and lean offspring, with the serval's characteristic large ears and markedly brown-spotted coats.
Cat genetics describes the study of inheritance as it occurs in domestic cats. In feline husbandry it can predict established traits ( phenotypes ) of the offspring of particular crosses. In medical genetics , cat models are occasionally used to discover the function of homologous human disease genes.
The Chausie (/ ˈ tʃ aʊ s i /) is a domestic breed of cat that was developed by breeding a few individuals from the non-domestic species jungle cat (Felis chaus) to a far greater number of domestic cats (Felis catus).
