What does the view say over the fence? According to Retscheider Hof In Germany there are indications of an increase in sight of wild cats. Around 1,000 reports were recorded from 2015 to 2021, and 500 reports have been added by 2023. This testifies to a compression of the wildcat population in existing areas and its development of new habitats.

It is also interesting to know that a total of 181 reproductive certificates have been documented by young animals since 2015.
