[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7854051, member: 4505"] Shot a few Scottish wild cats up here before they were protected. A local place name is "The Place of the Cat" in gaelic. There used to be a few domestic x wild cats around too, and they grow bigger than either of the parent species due to hybrid vigour. I shot one that when lifted by the back legs it's front paws touched the ground, so easily as big as a decent sized fox. It is easy to get confused about sizes when animals are seen in the wild unless there is something to compare them against. Foxes and crows will strip the carcase of a sheep in a couple of nights in winter and I've seen 4 - 5 foxed hunting together. [/QUOTE]
