Heres what it said........

"By appearance the Scottish wildcat resembles a very muscular domestic tabby, the coat is made up of well defined brown and black stripes and usually has a ruffled appearance due to its thickness. The gait is more like that of a big cat and the face and jaw are wider and more heavy set than the domestic. Most apparent is the beautiful tail; thick and ringed with perfect bands of black and brown ending in a blunt black tip."

All of the above my cat has.

Their body is an evolutionary perfection; eighteen razor sharp retractable claws and rotating wrists for gripping prey and climbing trees, immensely powerful thigh muscles for 30mph sprinting, the ability to fall from the highest pine tree, land on its feet and walk away unscathed, incredible stealth, balance and agility all wrapped in a thick, camoflaged and religiously cleaned coat with one downy layer to keep in the warm and another outer layer to keep out the rain and cold."

I havnt seen her fall from a tree but she has all the rest of the features mentioned above.

Now if she isnt a pure wildcat could she be a cross?

Will post some better pictures,

Cheers,

Dave.

as i said he is ginger, so he is the ginger version.

Most if not all tabbys have beutiful M on their heads some are thick furred, liek ginger like yours, some are huge like yours like my ginger, some are thin with thin fur, i honestly dont think yours is one or even a cross, she is just a beautiful moggy, just like all of my cats.
