This sounds like something out of a children's story "The animal that didn't know what it was..." He is not a lion, a tiger or a cat!
I hope there is another creature like him somewhere...

Actually, the reason was simple: The mother lacked the mother's milk. So the liliger was fed by humans with artificial milk and the house cat was just to make a company and some sort of cat's care.
