Very grumpy Scottish wildcat released unharmed
The footage was taken by a farmer who had set a cage-trap to catch any feral cats around his Aberdeenshire farm so that they could be neutered at the local vets. Much to his surprise, when he checked in the morning, he had caught a very grumpy wildcat! The cat was released unharmed a few seconds after the video was taken. It bounded away and disappeared into nearby woodland.
