This is my cat, Kimmy. This is one of my favourite photos of her. She was flopping like a mad cat before the shot was taken, probably weighs an extra pound due to all the sand in her coat here.

It's time to gatecrash this domestic cat party with some badarse wild cats.

I'll start with the Flat-Headed Cat. You've probably never heard of it, as it's relatively obscure and endangered. This little chap can be found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.

Most of the time, this cat looks like it wants to rip your spleen out through your nostrils. Just look at those goddamn teeth:

The rest of the time, it just looks rather surprised:

In the above picture you can its unique face shape, which is where it gets its name.

It lives in freshwater habitats and feeds primarily on fish. It also has webbed paws to help it move around in mud and water. This is a cat that does not mind getting wet.

The Rusty Spotted Cat, found in India and Sri Lanka, is the smallest cat in the world but is packing an almost lethal amount of cuteness. Sadly, along with most wild cats, it is endangered due to habitat loss caused by man.

As with all non-domesticated cats, it generally wants to murder you:

But it's easy to forgive it:

The Black-Footed Cat, found in Africa, is another very small cat.

Interestingly, this cat is rubbish at climbing trees, due to a stocky body and short tail; and instead they shelter in burrows, often using the unoccupied burrows of other animals such as hares or porcupines.

They are extremely hard, vicious little buggers and are known locally as "Anthill Tigers". They have very large energy requirements and typically kill up to 14 small animals every night

I found this picture of a rusty spotted kitten born in the Berlin Zoo:

And I had to find a picture of a person handling one to find out how big they are:

That's an adult! They only weigh about 1 Kg.

When I look at some of the other options out there, I do tend to think that us humans domesticated the wrong cat species. Check out the "Sand Cat" if you want to unleash the nuclear holocaust of feline cuteness.

Squatch Ambassador: Nov 12, 2008; What? Never seen a shaved Squatch before?

On the topic of wild cats, my mother and her fiance took these of a babby ocelot during a recent trip to Hondouras. A nearby farmer found it abandoned* and brought it to the hotel they were staying at, so that someone would take it to a nearby wildlife preserve.

_{_{* Ocelots tend to kill livestock, and are commonly killed by farmers around there. It's more likely the mother was killed.}}

They would, uh, feed the cat live prey. That feather explosion was a live chicken...that they brought into their apartment for it to stalk & kill.

There was also a :nws:

They must be a joy at parties. If they're still alive.

I thought sand cats were the species domestic cats branched off from thanks to the effects of domestication, but it turns out to actually be the African wildcat, which pretty much looks like a housecat with maybe slightly sharper edges.

They all have a dark orange 'M' on their foreheads.
Left to right there's Mentok, Marceline, and Muds ( she came up to me one day when I was feeding animals just caked head to tow in mud ) There a black with orange spots one in the litter also but I can't find a picture of her.

If the adult is that small, that kitten must be the size of a mouse. You could have a basket with 30 of 'em in it.

Speaking of Tigers, let me introduce the Toyger:

It's a domestic breed, identical to normal housecats in size and temperament, but one which will make a dent in your wallet to the tune of $3000.

Though that is damned impressive...first one since Maine Coons that's tempted me from a lifetime of shelter cats.

Sand Cat Chat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MjG9r_YP_U

I don't know if it's come up in the thread before but, for any goons going to vacation in Florida, Big Cat Rescue should be a place any cat lover visits. The wife and I took our honeymoon in Disney and drove out the hour to Tampa to go visit these guys. What's really interesting is that they do a few different types of tours. We took the Feeding Tour and the Keeper Tour when we went out. The feeding tour is all about their nutrition and it actually made me reconsider what I was feeding our two fluffballs at home. The Keeper Tour talks all about how they care for the cats and you get to make treats for them. Nothing more :3:

than seeing a Servil, Tiger, Leopard, or other cat tear apart a toy you got to put together for them.

I'm sure there are other cat rescue places out there as well, this is just the one I'm familiar with.

Big Cat Rescue stuff

I've been there a few times, mostly on fieldtrips and stuff as a kid, and it is definitely a cool place. They do a lot of good work helping abused/mistreated animals find nice places to live. Well worth a visit. In fact, this makes me realize that it's been years since I was last there. I smell a weekend trip coming up.

I had to move back in with my mom for a bit while looking for work after getting out of the military, and as thankful as I was that she let me crash on her couch, the only thing that really made it tolerable was that I got to spend time playing with this big dumb fluffball:

Yeah, the cat in the first pic looks like it's just yawning, and honestly, comparing owning a serval to owning a tiger is a pretty big stretch.

I don't think that I would want a serval. Savannah cats are pretty cool, though.

Toygers are pretty neat too. I'm interested to see what they end up doing with the breed in the future.

Seriously though, why are there not toy breed cats? There are stupid little purse dogs for all the Hollywood socialites to mistreat, I want a 2 pound fully grown cat that doesn't crush me when he decides to jump into bed in the middle of the night and lay on my head like my 20 pound monster does.

I'm fine without toy breeds. I really hate that dogs are being bred for appearance at the expense of health and longevity. A number of once-venerable breeds are being/have been ruined by showing and fashion. I can deal with getting ball-stomped if it means the same thing doesn't happen to cats.

Then again I've always been a large dog person. If cheetahs had the personalities of labradors (and, y'know, weren't wild animals being driven to the brink of extinction by habitat destruction and poaching) I'd totally, totally get one, and we'd be the best of possible friends.

I've seen other sites (not that one) that said the guy who tipped off the police said there were large animals in there, but didn't specify what exactly. The police used one of those sneaky-scope fiber optic cameras to peek under the door and saw the tiger. I love the mental image of cops coming out expecting like some weird dog or like a lynx or something and instead getting basically the worst case scenario.

Imagine if someone had tried to burgle that apartment. :unsmigghh:
