Later 19th century game keepers report of unusually large black cats prowling the grounds of there estates.. One type of hybrid that's seldom mentioned is bothy cats a tabby feral beast that stalks the remote Highlands coming into veiw when someone's sheltering in a bothy possibly in search of food..

They seem to get on fine with human though mine had a serious hatred of dogs (hence had to be walked on a leash). I will try and dig out some pictures and perhaps they can be used to see if the cat in question was a kellas, as it sounds very much like my old cat (Sox)).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178684195788694895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-4014581807035372272012-09-05T14:51:35.721+01:002012-09-05T14:51:35.721+01:00Thanks very much, both of you, for your kind comme...Thanks very much, both of you, for your kind comments - I'm delighted that you have enjoyed it so much!
