A liger has a lion for a father and a tiger for a mother. The only other real cat in the choices is a tigon, which is a cat that has a tiger for a father and a lion for a mother. A liger is usually larger than a tiger and while it will have some stripes they are much fewer and much lighter in color.

Answer: They are a black cat

A melanistic cat is black in color. There are black panthers, black leopards, and black jaguars. These animals have the spots or rosettes found on a regularly colored cat of their species but they are hard to see as the underlying fur is also black. A mother cat with normal coloring can give birth to a litter of 5 kittens of which only one is black.
