Difficult to id due to image quality. Taken on a trail cam. Have 4 images -2am and 4 am sightings in August this year. Stayed at the site for 2 weeks, cat only visited once.
Site was the Lochaline area, Morvern. Any thoughts? Cheers

After a lot of head-bobbing I agree its difficult to ID but I think its probably another hybrid - tail rings wider dorsally than ventrally (inverted triangles) instead of constant width, and tail too thin and pointed. But I'd like to see the other three images in case they show any part of the cat better.

A pity because over there you probably have a better chance of a decent cat than anywhere else except maybe the far North-west of Sutherland where nobody goes at all.
