Radiotracking on the wildcat in Switzerland
1996  Cat News (25): 18-19

The status of the wildcat in Switzerland is rather mysterious. No ecological study of this subspecies has been undertaken in the country. Beginning of 1994, a radio-telemetry study has been in progress in the Swiss Jura mountains. The aim is to study habitat utilization, characteristics of resting sites and the environments frequented; to identify territory size, social organization and activity, and to define the food regime. A new distribution map for Switzerland will be produced by means of a questionnaire.
