I'm 95% sure I had one of these cats a a pet in the 90s. Most people were scared of him, our dog was scared of him & other cats never seemed to give him any hassle. Both of the local vets thought he was a Scottish Wildcat & both were extremely reluctant to touch him.
@Dutch Van Der Linde Yes, as long as we didn’t stoke/pet him. We were only really allowed to do that when he came to us, otherwise he’d bite. He was happy to live in the same house as us, basically.
My mothers cousin, Rosalyn, had a hybrid, it was mental, she found it by the side of the road on a trip to visit family in Scotland. She brought it back here to the Lake district. It lived under an old armchair (which it would only let Rosalyn sit on) by the fire. Only came out to eat and toilet and when it did we were mortified, we used to run and hide in other rooms. If it was a wild cat you'd be 100% sure. Even this hybrid was fearsome and unpredictable honestly I'd rather of been in a pool with a great white than confined with that beastie.
Beautiful cats, must protect them. I think that our purpose as mankind is not to dominate the animal kingdom but rather to be guardians, keeping their environments from decay and ruin.
Funny how you are all for protecting such cats, but at same times do the opposite thing to endangered human species that get wiped out by inbreeding with other races.
These wild cats are absolutely beautiful, and I wish all conservation efforts the best. However. Their faces look like hilariously grumpy cartoon cats, and that really cracks me up.
I mean you have nothing to fear from them as long as you remeber the code, respect and distance. They will come to you if they choose not the other way around. And even if they do you must always remeber they are not domestic cats but wild animals like foxes or wolves.
You care so much about Scottish cats interbreeding and diluting their gene pool, perhaps you should pay more attention to Scottish PEOPLE doing the same thing.
The pure breed will go extinct, there just are too few of them and the fact that they breed with housecats, and there are 4,000 hybrids out there that they breed with and under 50 pure Wildcats. If a huge capture and spay / neuter release program happened, it would be expensive and need a lot of people involved, they could possibly cut down on the hybrid breeding cats. It's very noble to try and save them and I wish people luck, but it just seems too late considering that they breed with housecats and all the hybrids out there. In a way, their DNA will live on through those hybrids at least. So it won't be like they're completely gone. Some of them lives on in the hybrids. It's not optimal by any means, but sure better than having them hunted and killed to extinction. A piece of them will continue. If they didn't breed with houscats and hybrids, there would be a chance to bump the population. The only other way to do it would be to find some enormous island out there that doesn't already have cats and bring only the pure Scottish Wildcat to the island. You ever hear of those Cat Islands that didn't used to have cats and are now overpopulated with them? :P It's not totally serious, but in a way having them on an isolated island without other cats would be the only way to grow the pure population. I'm not saying to give up, I love that people are trying, but I do also think they're basically lost already. Some kind of captive or isolated breeding programs are the only way to keep the pure Wildcat alive at this point. Anywhere that doesn't have cats that wants a cool little cat species running around? :D
I'm 34 and only just found about Scottish wild cats I live in Wales Shame they're not here because like Scotland We've got beautiful Hills and forest's they would love
Wildcats actually we’re found in Wales and England! But i think during the Victorian age they were heavily hunted for fear of farms being raided, thankfully enough they managed to continue living in Scotland though they still do have issues.
nope. European and Asiatic wildcats completely lack the genetic disposition for domestication. Many people have tried in the past and even when raised from small kittens, found them utterly impossible, untamed. And not just in a 'no no bad kitty way'. lol It's pretty much agreed that all domesticated cats are descended from wildcat species from the middle east/norteast africa.
I'm not sure the cat above is even hunted, it's just that it doesn't have any room anymore. Same with the alpine-eagle which had it's origenall home all over germany but fled to the mountains after humans took over.
I used to live near Catshill in Worcestershire which according to local history got its name from the number of wildcats that lived in the surrounding hills and forests in the Middle Ages.

critically important work! I have seen 2 wildcats in my lifetime in Scotland, one in Glenmore and another nearby in Abernethy. Classic thick black blunted tail with the black rings. Shame its getting rarer every year.
Fierce protective Scottish Kitty, can imagine him in a wee kilt and sporran, with mini swords for claws, hissing and yowling bravely at marauding invaders, to the sounds of the bagpipes lol.
Some of the fierce Highland clans of old have Wildcats as their emblem. The Macphersons for example, whose motto is “Touch not the Cat, but with a Glove”, is a warning to you not to provoke them!
There’s a few at the New Forest Wildlife Centre, and I was told if you even get near their habitat they start hissing, and if you have to go inside they hiss non stop until you leave and you are very unwelcome in there. They look angry all the time
Yeah they can be fiercely territorial. At the highland wildlife centre in Kingussy (the one in the video) they have cages with runs that go over your head, and if you get close to them they certainly let you know about it. Amazing little creatures, but i wouldn't want to corner one out in the wild, they are bigger than domestic cats for sure and would leave you with a very nasty bite or scratch.
All the comments joking about the extinction of the rarest wild cat in the word....Why is that funny? Why laugh at a species that will go extinct? Humanity needs to wake up and realise it's not funny, it's not just a flip away comment. Your children ....grand children. They will never see these amazing animals in the wild again. There reference will be just another extinct species in a book.
All tabbies have 'M' on their forehead including domestic ones. There are other ways to tell the difference one of which is clear circles on the tail with no black stripe on the top of the tail. The stripe along the back is called the dorsal stripe. In domestic cats, it goes till the end of the tail, in wildcats it stops at the base. They also have bushy tails which don't get thinner. There is a video here explaining how to tell a Scottish wildcat apart from a hybrid and from a domestic tabby. BTW - the kitty in the video may be a hybrid as there is white around his muzzle.
The Scottish wildcat does not seem different from the European wildcat that we encounter in the Alps, the Jura and between France and Switzerland. We call it forest cat. There is also the same problem of hybridization with the domestic cat, especially the one that has become feral. Experts estimate that 15 to 20% of wildcats have traces of hybridization with the domestic cat.
Scottish wildcats are actually European wild cats, they just call them Scottish wild cats or highland tigers in Scotland, same cat different colloquialism
Because it’s technically a distinct subspecies of the European Wildcat, went through some changes and may have some differences in lifestyle and maybe physique, but are subspecies still.
Just seen David Attenboroughs latest Frozen Planet where he talks of “The world’s rarest big cat, the Amur Leopard. 120 left in the wild”. Is our own cat so small or so rare that we now ignore it. There a far less Wildcats in Scotland!
The Scottish wild cat is extinct now. The ones alive today have been mixed with the eastern cat. Every single one of the wildcats now have Eastern cat blood.
He wouldn't want to be petted and would sgred your hand if you tried. European wild cats (of which the scottish wild cat is a subspecies), can not be domesticated, even though they are almost the same species as domestic cats. It is not a 100% clear why that is. My money is on human predation having killed off all those individuals that showed any proclivity to come near humans a long time ago.
I swear I encountered a cat like this in Lincolnshire in the late 80s. I was walking with my grandad on the Old coach road ( just north abit of the ermine west ) and saw a very bulky cat like this that made a funny kinda growl.
