While felids in general are surprisingly cross-fertile, Felis concolor (various common names including puma, cougar,mountain lion, and panther) is far too large to successfully mate with Felis silvestris (the domestic house cat); Pumas are much more likely to regard a housecat as prey than as a viable mate.
