The problem with having felids as pets is less their sociability than the fact that as pounce predators with razor claws, they can maim or kill people pretty carelessly. It's less that housecats are bred for tameness, but that their claws are too short to slit your carotid.

my youngest has ear tufts from caracal genes :)
-
she also has a propensity for grooming forearms lol
-
she's not looking for a teat tho haha, it's just social grooming
-
I don't think there have been any fertile crosses of domestic cats with caracals. I had a Manx cat with ear tufts, I think it's normal but rare for domestic cats.
-
oh it's not gonna be a direct cross, you'd breed the caracal with something smaller, say an ALC, and then smaller still like a Mau, and try to retain the tufts as you progressed into "domestic-ish" territory
