What is the Kentucky wildcats' mascot's name?

Answer 1

The costumed mascot's name is Scratch but the University also has a live bobcat named Blue who resides at the Salato Wildlife Education Center. Blue does not attend games since he, like all bobcats, is very shy by nature and would not do well with the large crowds and noise of collegiate sporting events.

Answer 2

It is what is commonly called a Bobcat. The Ky Wildcat is similar to the European Wildcat but somewhat stronger. It is of the Lynx family. They are a very shy animal and rarely seen in the wild. I have only seen 4 or 5 in my 50 years of hunting.
