Only one ocelot is known to possess albinism, and the appearance of such a trait in ocelots is likely an indication of shrinking populations due to deforestation. [ 35 ] With a head-and-body length ranging from 55 to 100 cm (22 to 39 in) and a 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in) long tail, the ocelot is the largest member of the genus Leopardus . [ 6 ]
Ocelots were popular as an exotic pet in the 50s and 60s.

Their popularity is also limited by their comparatively high aggression. [8] No hybrids with domestic cats ...
Marguerite: domestic cat × sand cat (Felis margarita); kittens were born to a domestic female, in 2013 and another 20 hybrids in the United Kingdom in 2017 [16] Safari cat: domestic cat × Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) [17] [18] Savannah: domestic cat (including Bengal) × serval (Leptailurus serval) [19]
The Savannah is a breed of hybrid cat developed in the late 20th century from crossing a serval (Leptailurus serval) with a domestic cat (Felis catus). [1] [2] This hybridization typically produces large and lean offspring, with the serval's characteristic large ears and markedly brown-spotted coats.

One is the jaguar (Panthera onca), which is related to many species of big cat found on other continents.Though there are single jaguars now living within Arizona, [2] the species has largely been extirpated from the United States (in the states of Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Louisiana) since the early 20th century; although it ...
American Bobtails require two to three years to develop, slower than many domestic cat breeds. [1]While the typically “bobcat-“ or “ocelot”-like spotted coat patterning is the most basal coloration seen on the breed, many other colors and patterns exist (both in long and shorthair varieties), including black, blue, brindle, brown, calico, chocolate, cinnamon, fawn, lilac, pied, red-and ...
