Interesting that it might be related to the African wild cat, and thus to the Sardinian one ("su gatu areste") as well.

- Nasrudith 7y agoDomestic cats are also descendants of African Wildcats with some divergences like not quite as long fangs and less human pleasant voices (in addition to attitude differences). I am not saying they aren't a distinct species but I wonder what separates them from ferals. Time and genetic distance making them their own distinct collection of features not usually found? Mere interbreedability doesn't work too well as evidenced by the hybrid domestic cat breeds.
