  1. It looks incredibly like a domestic tabby but, from the Wikipedia entry, it acts very different.

  3. I wonder why they call it a black-footed cat ... I would have called it black spotted cat. Or maybe wow-those-are-huge-lantern-eyed cats.
    They are beautiful though - I hate seeing them listed as 'threatened' on the conservation status. Sigh.
    Happy PFF, Dorin!

Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
