Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

I have doubts about the 'Khatti'. The name Khatti or Hatti suggests the Hittite empire, but that would put it in Turkey, not Iraq (Mesopotomia), and it would certainly be surprising if the Hittites made it to England via Spain. Perhaps your author meant the Chatti, a German tribe mentioned by Tacitus, but what reason did she have to suppose they cared about cats, or ever migrated through Spain to Cheshire? Sounds like pure invention to me.
