A hybrid of what?

The article says: a specimen was shot and killed in 1984 by a gamekeeper named Ronnie Douglas and found to be a hybrid. Nowhere does it tell us what it was a hybrid of. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 06:48, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

“

The Kellas cat is named after the village of Kellas, Morayshire, Scotland, UK. In the early to mid 1980s there was much speculation being placed as to whether a new species or an 'emerging' new species of cat had been discovered in mainland Scotland. After close study based on the evidence from eight collected specimens, it was concluded by Dr Andrew Kitchener of the Royal Scottish Museum, in Edinburgh that seven of the cats showed traits common to both Scottish wildcats and domestic cats. These cats were described as introgressive hybrids, representing animals with varying degrees of Scottish wildcat and domestic cat ancestry.
