  Only if the aminals have the same number of chromosomes, then you can breed them together. Although through selective breeding you could create something unusual, like if for example you wanted to breed giant cats, you would only let the biggest cats breed together for a few generations and eventually you would end up with massive cats. That’s how they bred “micro pigs” and “pygmy goats”.

  That’s a good question but I’m afraid I really don’t know. It’s well outside my area of science and engineering. I would like to know the answer too!
