Biological, genetic, and chromosomal incompatibilities—such as X-linked hybrid sterility and rapid genomic divergence—impose strong barriers that prevent successful and frequent hybridization among cat species.

Mechanisms Underlying Mammalian Hybrid Sterility in Two Feline Interspecies Models.
2015 · cited by 50
The study identifies specific autosomal and X-chromosome genes associated with hybrid male sterility in feline models, demonstrating robust genetic barriers to successful interspecies reproduction.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that genetic and chromosomal mechanisms create strong reproductive isolation barriers in felids. Papers [1], [2], [3], and [4] specifically detail the genetic underpinnings of hybrid male sterility, chromosomal structural variations, macrosatellite divergence, and genetic distance proxies that explain why cat hybrids face severe biological barriers. There are no papers refuting the claim.
