Hi,
this is one of mine... well not really... say that I grew it up a bit then found its way to life.

This one was from a set of 6 "produced" by a big half-savage cat

I was able to make this half-savage cat mom friend of mine (at least for some months) and I provided food and also medicines to all them.

This one of the picture was the bigger of this set and , of course, a male.

Within a few months these 6 cats grow at incredible rate (also cause I provided top quality food, much meat and similar stuff) but mostly causer of genetics I think.

I cannot keep animals in my house so I had them to become savage and follow the mother and learn to hunt and provide their food from themselves.

This one of picture become a real killer, I saw it a number of times with birds catched, small mouses and many other things.

After 8 months they become totally savage, even refusing any food provided by me and staying far from me (where when these were small I can touch with no problems).

1 was lost cause killed by a car running down the street at night, other 5 were healthy and very big cats.

This small grey you see after 1 year measured over 45cm lenght and an approximate weight of 4Kg I think, very big and incredibly wild beast... other cats (not only domestic) simply disappear when see it around...

Unfortunately I haven't pictures of it at actual size, I see it rarely, just e.g. drink some water and run... in the bushes, woods!

Not stuff to keep one of these at home: at first I had thoughts the mother was all wild cat, instead not just for half I think, the kitties were big from start and I had thoughts the father must be wild too!

One has truncated tail from birthm, a classical sign of wildcats genetic.

My guess is that the mother found a big wildcat... and several races mixed in them. I can spot e.g. round dark patches at fur, classical stuff you see in africans wildcats and egyptian mau, but also these have a lot of european cat and european wildcats.

Anyway, you cannot belive the fur they got... fantastic stuff.

But I saw it right... these need much freedom, cannot stay in apartments.

Kind regards,
Max
