What's the "wildest" domestic cat?
A funny question to be sure. What's the wildest domestic cat breed?
Initially I thought bengals - 50% wild, more or less, as half the genes seem to be from the Asian spotted leopard. But now I'm thinking Savannahs, which I understand to be a mix of Bengal and Serval - that would be 75% wild, if I've got the math right. Any opinions? |

Neither, as there are regulations on how many generations "away" from their wild ancestors that these cats must be in order to be considered pets.
