I didnt say genetically compatible. Domesticated cats are nearly genetically indistinguishable from African wild cats. Genetic studies are difficult because cat species are so similar. In fact, several cat species including the house cats have been argued by geneticists to actually be subspecies of the same species.
This is truly not the same for dogs or any other domesticated species… Except maybe the pidgeon. I could see a similar argument for some pidgeons. Not the tumblers.
Dogs are fully genetically compatible with wolves, but are clearly domesticated.
