This book details the history of British wild cats including the Scottish wild cat which was announced in 1897 by distinguished naturalists and expert on the wild cat as having become extinct circa the 1860s. The subject of how hybridisation with feral domestics kept the species alive for hundreds of years and facts from historical records throw aside the dogma taught since the early 1900s.

Harrison Weir wrote his book, Our Cats and All About Them, in 1892 with it being published in 1889. Weir was a “cat person” and well known as an expert in cats and this is shown in the books sub-header: “Their Varieties, Habits, and Management; and for Show, the Standard of Excellence and Beauty”. With such an interest pet/show cats Weir obviously looked at the wild variety and it is his section of wild cats that is the subject of this paper and unlike many of the reprinted versions of the book in modern times this paper includes the illustrations.
