The scent of the two species would not be the same. A domestic cat would not be attractive to a lion or attacted to a lion as a mating partner and vice versa.

No, for quite a few reasons. If one in all those great wild cats encountered a plenty smaller family contributors cat they could basically regard it as prey. Their length distinction could avert them from being waiting to mate clearly. then you definately've differing chromosome counts and gestation classes which might make complete term progression of any kittens nigh on impossible. The womb of a family contributors cat basically might desire to no longer accommodate a huge foetus sired by potential of a huge cat and the foetus could be miscarried whilst it reached complete-term kitten length. The few wild cats that have been crossed with domestics have basically been powerful because of the fact they have been heavily matched in terms of length, gestation era and so on. Edited to characteristic: Genetic sorting out has by no potential upheld the declare of any alleged off-spring between Bobcat or Lynx matings with family contributors cats. No wildcat DNA became into ever present in any of the examined cats.

Maybe in a lab. Who knows what strange things go on these days.
Domestic cats presumably do mate with smaller wild cats.

No. Even if you did, if the female was the domestic cat, it would die from the sheer size of its offspring. Theres no way a domestic male cat could fertilize a mountain lion without becoming dinner first. So there is no way to mate the two.

Don't think the domestic cat would live long enough for you to find out the answer.

For the most obvious reason, wild vs. domestic, and size, so answer is, no. Nature and instinct would not allow this.

No.
Wrong size, wrong species. No possibility of the male parts fitting into the female parts.
