	Do domestic cats only descend from North African cats? Or did they
also interbreed with various species of small local wildcats?

>>> The were wild cats (Felis silvestris) in East European forests.

>> And there still are in the Scottish Highlands

>        Not that it matters ...
>        The extinction of European wild cats anywhere in Europe is (I think)
>fairly recent.  Except for having shorter tails, they are very close to
>African Wild cats anyway.
