Forest cats are brown or gray-brown in color with black stripes.
They are larger than domestic cats, with a thick tail, as if “chopped off” at the end.
What is the difference between a forest cat and an ordinary cat
Unlike domestic cats, forest cats cannot meow, but only hiss, growl and sometimes whistle.
If you try to “introduce” a domestic cat to a wild forest brother, then it is likely that this acquaintance may be the last for the domestic cat.
Purebred Scottish Forest cats no longer exist.
Geneticists have found that all living representatives of this population carry from 17 to 74 percent of the genes that were obtained as a result of crossing with domestic cats.
Is it possible to tame a wild forest cat
These animals can be called honorary social phobes, since they stay aloof from their relatives, limiting communication exclusively to the mating season.
Of course, it is almost impossible to tame such a wayward individualist.
