The ghjattu-volpe, also known as a ‘cat-fox,’ was once a mythological being among shepherds. However, thanks to a project on Corsica, this being has been proven to exist! According to a genetic analysis, the cat-fox could actually be a previously unrecognized species of wildcat.
Researchers hope that its genetic information will be distinct enough to be recognized as a new subspecies, at least.

It is, but it isn't a cat-fox hybrid. The cat just has some features that slightly look fox-ish
