Wild reed cats are used for crossing all the time, up to today, although not always.

There is a clear classification (F1-F4) in four steps, which reflects the percentage of wild blood in the pet. Group F1 is kittens obtained directly from crossing a wild reed cat and abyssinian cat. However, now the breeding program allows cross wild cats with domestic shorthair cats.
