The Chausie () is a hybrid breed of cat that was developed by the hybridisation of wild jungle cats (Felis chaus) with domestic cats (Felis catus). The breed has a lean and athletic built, sporting a black-based coat of a ticked or grizzled tabby, or a solid pattern.
In 1995, the Chausie was officially recognised and pedigreed by The International Cat Association (TICA) under the "non-domestic hybrid source breed"-category. Because Chausies are mostly descended from domestic cats, by about the fourth to fifth generation, they are fully fertile and domestic in temperament.
