Some things to consider. I will not necessarily be responding to (or even reading) comments. I generally do not block comments unless they are off-topic, merely a soap-box for the individual, or clearly spam. I reserve the right to ban persistent offenders. Occasionally a comment will be held up for moderation because it triggers a filter; in particular comments with four or more links will be delayed. Do not resubmit the comment - it will be posted when I get an opportunity. Lastly, commenting get automatically shut down three weeks after the post first appears. Have fun!
Cute! Is it a true felid? And if so, what are its taxonomic affinities?
Procyonid – raccoon and allies.
The “cat” comes from the fact that miners used to adopt them as pets to kill vermin.
Wow! I have never seen one of these before. Very handsome.
They are beautiful little animals, and actually quite common, but rarely seen due to nocturnal habits and rather shy personalities.
