Ummm…is this a certain somebody’s latest Project?

Rabbit-Headed cat carcasses found in Scotland

WE HAVE real-life beasties such as the midge and fantastical monsters such as Nessie, but now investigators believe they have found a new fearsome creature roaming the forests and glens of Scotland.

Researchers have produced two carcasses of what they hope is a previously undiscovered species - a large rabbit-headed wildcat.

The mystery black mammal has a small head, a large snout, long canine teeth and - most distinctively - long ears which bear a resemblance to a rabbit or hare.

Big cat hunters are calling on gamekeepers to help trap a live rabbit-headed cat so its identity can be established once and for all.

It certainly has all the hallmarks of a certain somebody’s Project, doesn’t it?

How come they never show pictures with these stories?

Ohw goody! Let’s call it the Rabther! Or the Bunnypard! Or the Jaguhare!

I say notheeng.

Hrm, in searching the net looking for pictures of these beasties, I’ve discovered that the two carcasses mentioned in the article were recovered in the late 80’s and early 90s. So not a new story at all.

They also don’t really look all that remarkable.

Every other source regarding these cats uses the term Kellas and “rabbit eared” interchangeably, but I think the point this woman is trying to make is that these particular cats may be a new species, apart from the Kellas cat.

Surely DNA tests could be done with little trouble.

More pictures here.

eh, the ears arent THAT long. I was thinking of a cat with ears that are actually as long as a rabbits ears. my cat kinda looks like that if I pick her up by the scruff of her neck.

It looks remarkably like a cat’s head.

Yeah, rather disappointing. That explains why they didn’t put the pictures in with the news article though . Cunning journalists - wanting us all to picture rabid mutant cats with 10cm ears…:roll:

Talk about a let down. I was envisioning something much cooler than a cat with slightly large ears.

Well, that was nowhere near as cool as I thought it was going to be…
