European Wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) inhabits forests of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in Scotland and Turkey; it has been extirpated from Scandinavia, Iceland, England, Wales, and Ireland. Its physical appearance is much bulkier than that of the African Wildcat and the Domestic Cat. The thick fur and size are distinguishing traits; the Wildcat normally would not be mistaken for the Domestic Cat. In contrast to the Domestic Cat, it is most active in the daytime.

European Wild Cat (Felis silvestris silvestris) The Scottish subspecies of the European wildcat, Felis silvestris grampia is a stocky cat, and can be distinguished from the domestic cat by its larger size, broader head and blunt, bushy and relatively short tail. It is fairly dark in colour with 'tabby' striping, which is more distinctive in juveniles than in adults.
