They are not domestic cats. They are a wild cat hybrid that idiots think are okay to have as pets because they are smaller than most predators, but they are still not domestic animals.
They can be domesticated. Now I know they aren't predators but chickens, buffalos, emus and ostriches have all been domesticated. As have some predators, such as hyenas and wild dogs. People have birds of prey and large snakes as pets but sure, this dog like cat is a huge problem. You raise a few generations around humans and they'll be pretty chill.
Me and my buddy play this game. It's called: How would you fight (insert animal)? And then we just talk about how we would take down various animals. We have talked about gorillas but both agree that wild cats are not on the list of animals that we would fight... Not even in our pretend "I would win but honestly we would die" world, do we think that a fight between man and cat, would we be the victor. All that to say, it's basically a dog size cat, and all cats want to eat you (my house cat even looks at me to the point it makes me uncomfortable). Yes it is real, and it will steal your breath as you sleep... Probably through your slit throat.
How they think that's smart? Idk
That thing looks sinister lol
