NORTH CAROLINA MYSTERY CAT

The Kellas cat was discovered in Scotland some years ago, when one was caught in a trap.  Basically, it was black in color and is supposed to bee descended from crossbreeding of domestic cats with the Scottish wildcat.

A similar mystery black cat has been reported from North Carolina.  Whether it too is the descendants of domestic cats and some wilder member of the cat family or whether the sightings are just due to misidentification remains to be seen.
