European wildcats are found throughout most of Europe, though each population is distinguishable for its fur thickness and coloration. They are elusive and largely nocturnal.

Photographed at Parco Natura Viva, Italy.

more werewolves au !

Ghost is being a responsible adult and grooming this poor weird pup he found, Price is being a thoughtful pack leader and is trying to inform Ghost that the puppy is not happy, and Gaz is trying to get the puppy to play with him to cheer him up.

This is the same Soap who will bring half of a mouse to Ghost's, Price's and Gaz's doors for them to discover in the morning. Or step on it if they weren't fully awake. And then refuses to admit to himself that it's probably him doing it and not a random stray cat. Even if he would have smelled a stray cat being on his territory. The three of them are convinced that Soap is hiding a cat somewhere because it smells like him.

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #captain john price #kyle gaz garrick #ghostsoap #soapghost #werewolf 141 & cat soap au #i wanted to make soap a scottish fold but i looked it up and it's a very recent breed and it didn't fit my idea that soap's family were #always able to change into a certain cat breed #and there's also the fact that it's a pretty inhumane breed #so here he and his family are european wildcats #guys i had this weird idea of colouring it so obviously i did a half arsed job because i hate colouring and i gave up #but my brain was happy anyway so i win #i'm better at drawing cats than at drawing canines lmao #let's also not pay too close attention to ghost pls i know his face looks like a bear #trust me it was way worse without the colours

Photos: European wildcats in the forests of Catalonia. From Fundació Zoo de Barcelona and Olot Cultura.

The European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris).

The wildcat is one of the only two autochthonous felines in Europe, the other one being the lynx.

Distribution of wildcat species in the world. The European wildcat lives in the dark green areas.

Map of Felis silvestris subspecies, according to a DNA analysis published in Science (29 june 2007) : «The Near Eastern Origin of Cat Domestication». Wikimedia Commons.

In Catalonia, they live in the forests of the Pyrenee and Pre-Pyrenee mountain ranges, the Parc Natural dels Ports, and Montseny. They're also relatively common in the Valencian Country's rural inland mountains. Despite their presence, it's very rare for hikers to see them, because they're mostly nocturnal and they don't come near humans.

It can be differentiated from domestic cats because the wildcat has black lines behind its head that can go down to the top of its back, has a black dorsal line through all its back until the beginning of the tail (in domestic cats, this line tends to go all the way to the tail), the wildcat has a thicker tail with 2 to 5 black rings near the tip, which also tends to be black.
