 In the Carpathians, the wildcat feeds primarily on yellow-necked mouse ("Apodemus flavicollis"), northern red-backed vole ("Myodes rutilus"), Tatra pine vole ("Microtus tatricus"), and occasionally also European hare ("Lepus europaeus").In Transcarpathia, the wildcat's diet consists of mouse-like rodents, galliformes, and squirrels.In the Dnestr swamps, it preys on "Microtus", water voles, and birds, while those living in the Prut swamps primarily target water vole, brown rat, and muskrat ("Ondatra zibethicus").
