The Felidae family, including the cat, is very large. We all know the big cats, but the smallest in the world, not everyone knows. Let's talk about the rusty cat. It weighs just over a kilo and is just under 20 centimeters tall. If you are thinking of adopting it, you will have to abandon the idea, because it is used to living in wild environments, therefore not suitable for domestic life.
It is considered rare. But the latest investigations indicate that it is more widespread than previously thought.
It inhabits the dry and bamboo forests up to the tea plantations of India and Sri Lanka. Sometimes it happens that he comes close to living close to humans, in abandoned homes in some villages.
Despite its size, the rusty cat is a very fast and cunning feline. Given its nature as a mainly nocturnal hunter, it does not let itself be frightened by larger mammals such as the gazelle.
These felines have large eyes that vary in color. The sight is far superior to that of man, so as to spot their prey even from a considerable distance.
The legs are quite short, but this does not prevent them from being agile and fast. Their long, tapered tail features black tipped rings.
Its coat is short and tinged from brown to gray with rust-colored streaks. It has such a cuddly appearance that it is easy to mistake it for a small domestic cat.
Despite its wild nature, this feline has a quiet and gentle temperament, but sadly its nature is wild.
We will be content to admire it from afar, respecting its nature.
