Hi guys,
I just went to the site:
http://www.vertebradosibericos.org/mami ... felsil.pdfand read the PDF on the wild cat. They mention 3-5 rings in the tail, hanging whiskers and a somewhat skin colour in the nose. As to the fur, they are not always as fluffy as in other parts of Europe and may become less around this time of the year. They mention lots of studies in the rest of Europe and only a few in the Iberian peninsula.
They mention also a study in the south of Portugal that shows a 12% mix with house cats and one wild cat with a tail of a house cat ( DNA study ).
apparently the best way to distinguish them in on the size of the intestines...that might not always be visible on a picture.
I'll place him in my kitten file.
I'll place a few more pics tomorrow.
Miguel
