Trapped this cat a few years ago,it had stepped into a dog trap. Wild dogs killed it through the night and I took a pic because of the unusual coat on it.Forget the fox hanging behind it.
Any care to opine re this?

In the early 1900s farmers and loggers in northern Sweden could have a cat skin sawn in to their trousers. Foxskins were sold for more money than a forestworker could earn in two months. Catskin could not be sold. A bad hunting dog could be used for a pair of gloves.
