The recruitment of men to the armed forces during the conflict in Europe from 1914 to 1918 meant there was very little persecution, since gamekeepers went off to fight. As the number of gamekeepers decreased, the wildcat began to increase its range, recolonising many of its former haunts. Extinction was narrowly averted.
The wildcat waits for a while in rapt concentration, ears twitching and eyes watching, seeing everything and hearing everything, trying to detect the tell-tale movement of a vole or a mouse. But there is nothing, and in another leap he disappears into the gloom.
The results, which are expected shortly,
will be fascinating. But anyone who has seen a wildcat will be in little doubt that there is indeed a unique and distinctive animal living in the Scottish Highlands, whatever his background.
They probably used deciduous and coniferous woodland for shelter, particularly in winter, and hunted over more open areas such as forest edge,
open woodland, thickets and scrub,
grassy areas and marsh. The wildcat
was probably driven into more mountainous areas by a combination of
deforestation and persecution.
As the animals emerge, their curiosity
is aroused by every movement and rustle in the vegetation. Later they will accompany their mother on hunting trips, learning quickly, and soon
become adept hunters themselves.
This is what makes many people think
that the wildcat is a species in its own
right. Research currently being undertaken by Scottish Natural
Heritage is investigating whether the wildcat really is distinct from its homeliving cousin, or whether it is nothing more than a wild-living form of the domestic cat.
It is a typical image most folk have of
the beast, but it is very much a false
one, for the wildcat is little more than a
bigger version of the domestic cat, and
probably shows his anger as often.
