I guess they could if they wanted to. Lions and Tigers mate, if you wanna check that out you could go to snopes.com in the animals section. They have pictures and everything. When lions and tigers mate and they have a baby it is called a Liger (yes, ligers are real.)

In nature it would be impossible because jaguars and leopards live on different continents. However, they are from the same genus so it is possible they could successfully mate.

Does a panther keep its mate for life?

Theoretically yes. The Lion and leopard both belong to the panthera genus. There is one report of a large male leopard mated to a lioness in 1912 and produced 2 cubs (http:/wwwzperiodzmessybeastzperiodzcom/genetics/hybzhyphenzleopxlionzperiodzhtm). There have also been reports of Leopard/Jaguar hybrids mated to lions. Jaguar/Lion hybrids are more common as a male jaguar is similar in size to a lioness (http:/wwwzperiodzbearcreeksanctuaryzperiodzcom/jaglionszperiodzhtm). Leopard/Cougar hybrids have been sucessful as well but the animal usually possesses dwarfism. Due to the size difference in Lions and leopards it makes hybridization difficult but it has happened. Here's a picture of a Lion/Leopard Hybrid in Japan (http:/fauvesdumondezperiodzfreezperiodzfr/hybride/hybride_fichier/japanese_leoponzperiodzjpg)
