The UK used to have a different feline species that was native to the isles.

Its likely going extinct because of the UK obsession with outdoor cats.

Since 2017, the Cat Classification Task Force of the Cat Specialist Group recognizes Felis silvestris silvestris as the valid scientific name for all European wildcat populations, arguing that it is doubtful that the Scottish wildcat is sufficiently distinct to accord it separate subspecific status.

It's just a plain old cat, it's not going extinct.
