I grew up in rural central Indiana. On the farm in the 80's we had a very special breed of feral cats. They had very short tails. The main tomcat was huge, big boned, and muscular. His neck was bigger than a grown mans hands could reach around. He was black with faint striping seen in the sunlight. He was very agressive and dangerous, would come back to the barn with wounds from fighting. He would attack strangers. We were sure this was a hybrid bobcat but a professor of biology when I was in college told me that a domestic cat can't breed with a bobcat. Its always been a mystery to me. Possibly the bloodline was the result of a few centuries going feral.
We bred this huge feral cat with a more domesticated cat and one of the kittens was one of the best pets I ever had, it looked just like a bobcat with more orange in color. This male was very dog-like with loyalty and personality I haven't seen in other cats. Unfortunately the bloodline was eventualy lost/watered down with strays.
I would like to find a breeder that sells cats of this sort of bloodline but not sure where to look? I now live in SE PA.
