The mon must be confused
I can't tell the difference.
He looks exactly like my grey tabby❤
Most housecats are descendants from wildcats via breeding.
my cat look same ..
Why does this cat share my name?
Why does the african wild cat keep on hissing after playing with the toy
Mom looks like an European Wildcat.
A little curiosity, as the probability of a wild cat to be more affective than usual, it happens too with domestic cats, where they are more wild and aggressive than usual domestic cats, but with some of their usual behaviors.
Like my black cat, he isn't the usual domestic cat because of his wild power, he doesn't like usual food and really prefers to go out and kill.
Otherwise my white cat is really comfortable with the house
When I see this video is like seeing my black cat playing and being Savage 1 hour or 2. They're really hard to handle
Another thing, is that these cats aren't pet in the usual zones. They're like dogs in cats bodies.
What they fail to tell us is what happens to the wild cat. Does it return to Africa eventually? Doesn't seem like much of a pet to me.
Neither are wild they are both domestic
Parecen gatos de casa, por cierto muy lindos!!
Mom looks wore out. Shes thinking omg i cant handle his shit no mo!???
There is a lot more going on here than what they have mentioned.
Firstly domestic and African wild cats are the same species. Domestic cats came from African wild cats and genetically they still are African wild cats. This means they can have viable offspring that is normal in every way.
Lions and tigers on the other hand are quite different from each other. Lions and tigers cannot produce viable offspring when they breed with each other because they are simply 2 different species. Even leopards are genetically closer to lions than tigers are.
But fair play. Lion surrogate mothers are obviously the best choice for producing the extra tigers. This is simply due to the size of lions and tigers being somewhat similar, and yes they are genetically close enough. The way the comparison is explained here is just not accurate.
I feel like this video is bending the facts to make money and capture a bigger audience. This kind of commercialism is just going to miss inform people. Such a sad world when news companies can't just tell the plain truth.
My cat looks like the wildcat? and actually is a little bigger than other cats..
Big whoop. African wildcats are the direct ancestors of domestic cats so having a domestic surrogate mother carry the wildcat embryo to birth is a piece of cake.
The domestic cat is like "my child is very big and strong and hisses werid but I love him"
Looks like my old cat lol she lived to be 18. She was a wild cat too ?
He looks grey and his tail is tiny. Which aren’t traits of a wildcat
An African wildcat isn't endangered. It's listed as "Least concern". Now, if it had been a black-footed cat… I do understand that the technology could be used to create a rarer cat.
Very proud house cat, she is probably thinking "I gave birth to an African wild cat, so awesome am I, yeeess!"
He looks like a tabby cat and how come the mom did not teach it manners to stop hissing?
Meoooew ?
I thought the mother was the wildcat, because a gray wildcat like that, I've never seen before.
I have a African wild cat and I would like to find it a home it looks just like jazz my phone number is 619-598-4203 he's a male
The mom seems annoyed enough with her son and prefers not to spend attention.
Amount of animal we have right now is what the nature can afford feeding. Maybe it should be the same for human so we get more resources to increase animal population and bring back the extinct
the one we used to call domestic once was wild
She looks like she's thinking "Yea, you can't fool me, this bastart ain't mine"
Good momcat. Baby is still wild enough to hiss for no good reason.
This is Maria, can you tell me how will they survive?
Awesome, I’m so confused tho
Domestic house cats are just domesticated African wild cats… Nothing big here… Why was this video necessary…
Wild Cat: I shall one day, slay this prey! Hisses
Mom Cat: That's nice, hun. (Agh, you're so corny)
That cat is very common in Asia, I don't agree that it is an African cat.
Frozen embryos?
