Not my photo, it’s from this STV article about the successes of some conservation efforts. The article has more pics and also a short video!

I can’t explain why but this cat does look like it could start talking with a Scottish accent and it wouldn’t look out if place
Extremely boopable nose. Mama cat would rightfully shred my face off tho.
Mama cat can get a boop too, a few flesh wounds don’t have to stop you!

Miamha in Scottish Gaelic! Although I think the Irish míáú is much more fun with the repeated fadas
I guess there has to be a conservation effort because people keep stealing them!

Oh my oh my oh my
Oh my goooodnessss! <3 How precious!
Thank you so much for sharing this photo and the article with it about their great conservation efforts and their successes! :)
