No, there are no native wildcats on Cyprus of any kind - large or small. Because it is doubtful if the island ever had any land bridges to Asia Minor or Syria, Cyprus is classified as "Oceanic" from a geological viewpoint. Oceanic island suffer from severe mammal fauna poverty because they have never absorbed mammal fauna from the adjacent land masses. Indeed, Cyprus has the poorest amounts of mammal species to any other large Mediterranean island. I doubt if wild cats existed in the past either. Cyprus is a very unlikely candidate for rich mammal diversity. Kind regards Fivos PS: my home e-mail address is sivosolympios@tiscali.co.uk
