Please to be explaining what this means, for folks like me who don't have a clue about cats and breeding and wotnot (well I know about breeding lolz *nudge, wink*, but not cat-breeding)
F5 means she is five generations from the Asian Leopard cat. So basically she's a 5th gen. Rapunzel is a F9 IIRC, so has some traits of the leopard cat (climbing, talking, chirping and chattering*) but is quite far removed so tends to be a lot more domestic.
The Bengals I had in the USA were F1. Basically very friendly but still very wild. These are illegal in the UK mostly down to their size (nearly two stone with claws like razor blades).
*Chirping and chattering.
Chirping is a warble like sound they make when they are curious about something. They gargle saliva in the throat and make a really odd sound lol.
