We just learned about the African Wildcat.
Another type of wild cat is the European Wildcat, also called felis silvestris.
This type of cat is brown and grey, with some dark stripes on its face, body and tail.
These cats are about 2 feet long, and weigh about 17 pounds.
They live mostly in forests and mountains of eastern europe.
They look a lot like a normal house cat, but they are usually bigger and thicker with longer fur.
Sylvester the Cat from the Looney Tunes cartoons was named after the science name for this cat, felis silvestris.
