Can you mix a cat with a lion?
Feline hybrids aren’t found in nature. Lions and tigers don’t overlap in the wild (except in India’s Gir Forest, where until now no ligers have been found). And big cats in the same territory don’t cross the species line—they’re not interested in each other, just as humans aren’t drawn to chimps.
Do lions eat cats?
A carnivore would extremely rarely eat another carnivore. Lions are known to kill other cat members like cheetahs and leopards. But, they wouldn’t eat cats, unless they need food desperately, as we mentioned earlier. In general, killing other cat species happen due to the nature of competition.
Would a lion hurt a house cat?
This small size is not enough to fulfill the meat requirement of a lion. So the lions do not attempt to attack a cat unless they have a good reason for doing so. Lions, tigers, jaguars, pumas, leopards, and other big cats can kill, eat or prey upon a house cat, but they usually don’t.

Why lions should not be kept in captivity?
In summary, lions in captivity suffer a high level of stillbirths, a much higher frequency of behavioural abnormalities compared to smaller carnivores, and skeletal deformities likely to cause neurological complications. As captive bred lions do not contribute to the conservation of ever-shrinking wild lion populations and cannot be returned to
Do lions and coyotes eat cats?
The coyotes that can be counted upon to kill and eat cats when available are much smaller than lions. If the lion has eaten recently, it is unlikely that the lion would bother with the cat. I don’t think that either the lion or the lioness would identify a cat as competition. However, male lions might see the cat as a cub.
Do lions and Tigers ever hunt small animals?
No, unless the lion or tiger is really starved or his cubs need food desperately. Lions and tigers generally hunt deer, wild boars and occassionally buffaloes among other big creatures. Hunting for a small animal like a cat is of no use for it because the cat will just serve as a cookie for him.
