Beautiful creatures indeed. It's a crying shame that they're so endangered. I hope they manage to succeed in reversing this trend and the species thrives. Good luck with their campaign :D

Their biggest threat is irresponsible cat owners not having their cats neutered and speyed which has resulted in many hybrids.
Such a crying shame, they are absolutely stunning.
They are so so gorgeous,i think the one pic on the top of the 2nd link you posted looks like BD's Dennis

I got a shiver watching that cat on the trailer. I will definitely look out to buy this DVD later this year. Wonderful animals.

While going back over this information about the endangered Scottish Wild Cat, I found this link which is interesting. Looks as if they may be able to tell a pure breed SWC from those hybridised with feral moggies after all!

Fascinating! An excerpt from this study was posted in our newspaper, but unfortunately the Washington Post won't allow one to copy a link; tried, no luck.

They think the Kellas Cat is a wildcat/domestic hybrid.
