Scottish Wild Cat.
Scottish Deer Centre
Bow of Fife.
The wildcat physically resembles a domesticated cat in most respects. Although domesticated breeds show a great variety of shapes and colours, wild species are pale yellow to medium-brown with black stripes or spots. The underparts are light grey,and sometimes marked with black spots.
Wildcats range from 45 to 80 centimetres (18 to 31 in) in length, and weigh between 3 and 6 kilograms (6.6 and 13 lb). Shoulder height averages about 35 centimetres (14 in) and tail length is about 30 centimetres (12 in). However, other sources can be misleading and sometimes say that the Scottish Wildcat is twice the size of a domestic cat, but this is not true domestic cats are around the same size.
Wildcats also have the same range of vocalisations as domestic cats, including purring, meowing, hissing, and growling. Except during the mating season, they tend to be quiet animals, vocalising only when close to each other. A wildcat's meow has been described as being like a domestic cat's only without the 'e'; more like 'mau
Or it could be just some moggy from the local cat rescue !!.
