With the advent of the single society, showing off cats is far crazier than showing off babies. Statistics show that in 2018, the number of pet cats in China was 67 million. Therefore, there are as many "cat owners" as there are "cat owners" and "heroic mothers" behind them. Merchants' noses are even more sensitive, and cat-related products such as "Yunsu Cat" and "Cat Claw Cup" have been launched one after another. The cats in the Forbidden City can carry goods better than the emperor's concubines. Many people claim to be experts in sucking cats and have sucked countless cats. But you can’t see or suck these cats with different shapes below~

1. Desert cat (Felis bieti)

They are a precious and rare species that only exists in northwest China. They are also the closest cats to domestic cats. What distinguishes them at a glance is the tufts of long hair on each side of their ears. If you see this kind of cat, be sure to avoid it. Despite their cute appearance, they have very wild personalities. There was once a villager who wanted to capture the desert cat alive, but it didn't expect that it would not let go, like a pit bull, and finally managed to pry it open with a crowbar.

　2. Sand cat (Felis margarita)

Come on, please pronounce the first and second tones with me. Don’t pronounce the third and fourth tones when introducing someone. Otherwise, it is easy to cause public anger.

Sand cats are small cats that live in Asia and Africa. They only weigh about 3Kg when they are adults. Their large ears are good for dissipating heat in the desert, and the long hair on their feet protects them from being burned by the hot sand. What's more worth showing off is their sprinting skills, which can accelerate from a standstill to 40km/h in an instant. Catching birds and small reptiles is no problem. They are so smart that they can also bury food in the sand to store it.

​3. Black-footed cat (Felis nigripes)

Don’t think that this kind of cat sounds like it doesn’t care about cleanliness. In fact, it is a genius with a face! They live up to their reputation as “night owls”. They usually come out at night and hide in rocks, rabbit holes or ant nests during the day. , they eat 250g of food in one night, and they weigh only 1.5kg. They are one of the smallest cats on the earth, and their food intake in one night is one-sixth of their own body weight. I am truly yours, my black-footed cat.

　4. Flat-headed leopard cat (Prionailurus planiceps)

You said that when my mother was a child, she would lie flat on my back every day to sleep, and the back of my head would be flat.Wait, how did your mother let you sleep with your forehead like this?

They are mysterious little cats that exist in South Asia. Their heads are as flat as a shovel and their tails are very short. Their food is frogs, fish, shrimps and crabs, etc., so they generally live next to streams for easy hunting. Its claws are not as retractable as those of other cats, but they are good at fishing.

5. Rusty-spotted leopard cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus)

It can be called the smallest cat in the world together with the black-footed cat. The female cat weighs about 1Kg. What's special about them is that they all live in rainforest areas in Sri Lanka, but they mostly live in dry areas in India. Most speculation is that in India, the Indian leopard cat is the dominant species, and the rusty-spotted leopard cat has no choice but to live in arid areas.

　6. Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)

When you see this name, you might think it is a fishing expert. But their fishing ability is actually far inferior to that of their relatives, the flat-headed ocelots. It's just that they have small webs between their fingers, which can improve their swimming ability in the water. If you look closely, they look a lot like otters in the water.

7. Borneo Golden Cat (Catopuma badia)

They are similar in size to domestic cats and are rare cats that are only distributed in Indonesian Borneo. Its reddish-brown body color is attractive, and its diet is wide-ranging. Sometimes it even captures small monkeys.

　8. Tiger cat (Leopardus pardalis)

The tiger cat lives in South America and looks like an ocelot, but is larger than the ocelot. They can hunt some small antelopes and their speed is amazing. Because of his fur that resembled a jaguar, he was once tortured and killed. According to information, to make a coat, 35 tiger cats need to be killed to get the required fur.

9. Leopardus jacobita

This short face vaguely resembles that of a little raccoon. But it is currently one of the rarest cats, with less than 2,500 in the world. Because it is a magical species that lives in the Andes Mountains, it is also called the Andean cat. Because they live high in the mountains like hermits and are isolated from the world, genetic diversity is very scarce. In addition, local people like to kill cats for sacrifice, which makes their life even more difficult.

Nature is the greatest creator, creating this colorful and rich world. We live here, in addition to learningWe should make use of the gifts given to us by nature, and we should also know how to protect them. The blue sky and green land are still barren.

In order for our future generations to see these various forms Different cats, let us reject "trading and capturing wild animals" together!
