| Hybrid cats in Flanders | |
| 2016 Full Book | |
Hybrid cats were developed by an artificial cross between a domesticated cat (_Felis silvestris catus_) and one of the erschild species of exotic wild cats. In Flanders, the breeding of hybrids is increasing along with concerns about the welfare and housing of these hybrids and their potential impact when ntsnapping on native ecology and wild life. Spontaneous crossbreeding between wild-life wild cats and domestic cats (e.g. _Felis silvestris silvestris_ and _Felis silvestris catus_). For this reason, we can distinguish between spontaneous hybrids and "designer hybrids". |
