Can sand cats or caracals be pets? Are they wild or domesticated?

Both male and female are loving cats and neither is better than the other as a pet. You should, however, have the cat neutered, ie a tomcat should be castrated to keep him from roaming and getting into fights. Also it will stop him from having stinky urine and spraying. A female cat should be spayed in order to keep her from having kittens twice or three times a year. The cat's character will not be changed, other than it being more settled and not roaming.

No, there is no safe way to make or sedate feral cats outside of a veterinary clinic setting. Humane traps are available which can catch cats which go in for food and can be used to transport them for neutering, such as with trap neuter and release programs

Yes it is possible, however, unless you have a lot of experience keeping saltwater fish, please do not even attempt it. Most wild caught saltwater fish will not feed when they are in an aquarium, and only a small percentage will ever learn to feed. Please leave them where they are happy and healthy and where they belong, the sea.

Hi and thanks for your request. This is not guaranteed unfortunately, as it is a predatory instinct that he will probably keep a certain grade of. Castration can for sure calm him down and smooth slightly his wild nature.

I see that Bagpuss isn't neutered. He's likely roaming for females to mate with, which is why he's disappearing for days at a time. It could also be that there is another home feeding him as well, and he's been staying there. To cut down on roaming behavior, I would have him neutered. He's a domesticated cat used to being handled, so he won't become feral by being around feral cats, but because he isn't neutered, he could get into fights with them over females and territory. After you have him neutered, you can keep him indoors all the time, and set up a litter box for him inside. That will keep him safe from the feral cats and home all the time. It's perfectly find to make Bagpuss an indoor only cat. Many people do it, and cats are perfectly happy with that arrangement. I have four indoor only cats, and they are happy :-)

While there are many reports of bobcats breeding with housecats I don't believe this has been scientifically proven. It is more likely that your kittens have a gene that causes a shorter tail which is not uncommon in domestic cats. I'm not sure that I'd call it normal for a domestic cat to be comfortable around a wild bobcat and vice versa but it certainly seems plausible.

I'm not sure I understand the time line but cats can't store sperm. Reggae has orange in her coat so she does carry the gene for the orange coloration. The long haired gene can also be carried but not expressed. I recommend to have the female spayed when the kittens are 12 weeks old. One female cat can have up to 28 kittens in a year. This is not only a lot of cats to care for but it also contributes to the significant problem of pet over population. If cost is a concern, call the local humane society and ask about a low cost spay program. I hope this answers your questions and please feel free to post any additional questions.
