    Scotland has no interest in fighting others nor even telling other nations how to run their own affairs. The majority of the people of Scotland just wish to run their own country. This is backed up by the last 22 opinion polls. The most recent poll was claimed to be the opposite but was found to have been weighted incorrectly. When corrected it was 53% for independence.

    Well, I had one of these cats as a 'pet' when I was a boy on the north coast of Sutherland in the highlands. i found him as a kitten, clinging to a fence in the trees beside my fathers house. I didn't know what it was, I thought it was a normal cat. I fed him & looked after him, he lived outside & would only let me pet him. He had the distinctive black rings on his tail. After about two years, the vet came to my fathers house to check some sheep, he saw Tom sitting on the window and couldn't believe it. Thats when I found out what he was. However, nowadays we have a problem with domestic cats breeding with the wildcats. Tom lived for about 15 years. He didn't like other cats or people, but he was affectionate with me (when he felt like it). I also had a pet otter (Jim) and I had to keep Jim & Tom apart, they didn't get on.

They are worth saving. Also, like she said, please spay or neuter your kitties. It's so important. Our cats have such an impact on wildlife as an invasive species.

    My grandma had an european wildcat hybrid litter from her barn cats and she kept one. To this day she keeps telling storys of the insanity level of that cat. It fought strangers out of the door flying at their faces and screaming. It attacked anything that tresspassed the garden. It spit and clawed and destroyed anything that was in a room if she tried to keep him inside. It clawed up the walls and chewed through cables that were running with power getting shocked and then doing it again. He was never tame to the day he died and she had many scars and bites on her arms from him.

I took in Darby's little feral sister, as she chewed on me, it's been a month and she has slowed down and only growls and bites twice a day. Would be fun to work on the scottish highland cat survival and study. He in Alabama my Dad says we had an American version identical to them. I have only seen one and that was 25 years ago in a remote Creek bottom area away from people.

    They're not as aggressive as people make them out to be. Sure, they'll be defensive if you approach them while they have kittens nearby, but that can be said for every animal. If you treat them with respect and show that you mean no harm, they will approach you with curiosity just like a domesticated cat. But I think it's important for us to be mindful of their wild status; if they get too accustomed to human interaction, they suddenly become domesticated animals themselves, and then Scotland loses its wildcat.

    Yes, that is an excellent translation. It's the motto of clan MacPherson. The original is "Touch not the cat bot a glove" and bot is an ancient word meaning without. Glove refers to the cat's claws being retracted. Now it's usually written "but a glove" though the meaning is still the same. The motto is a warning not to aggravate these dangerous warriors! But if their weapons are sheathed then they are most hospitable, welcome to Scotland!

Breeding is far from the only impact cats have on local wildlife. They are highly efficient killers and can decimate the songbird and small animal population in the area. On the flip side there are animals that are very dangerous to them. A painfully personal example was losing one cat when 5 racoons ganged up on him.

People don't need to kill my cade and doggo friends - they should castrate all dogs and cats instead of killing them. I don't agree with keeping cats and dogs all the time inside of a home (with some expectations) especially when it is going about castrated animals. this girl/ her team showed (explained) also why cats should be vaccinated. domestic cats can have also fall into 2 or 3really dangerous diseases, because of pathogens.
