picture here, it s a big kitty! It may be perched on a large rock, post or anything higher than the rest of the ground and is looking for mice and rats in the field – this elevated height and stance will make it look way bigger than it actually is.
there are two genus of small cats, Felis spp and Prionailurus spp.
They can and do interbreed (many Oriental breeds of cat have Prionailurus genes) and give birth to hybrids who are often physically very large, especially the tom cats. Such a cat, whether an exotic breed or a moggy, is often viewed to be too much of a handful for a housing estate type area (as it is can end up being blamed for anything from bullying other cats to stealing food and clothes from washing lines, baskets and other small objects including mobile phones) so they are often rehomed to rural areas and kept as outdoor cats especially on farms (due to their good hunting skills).
