I believed it for a moment or two!

It is one of the great things about the Romanian language, which in all other respects is basically just Latin, that "cat" is not "cattus" or "felus", but rather "pisica". Because pspsps...

I know - it's like looking at new games on a Steam Sale, when you already have a library of underplayed and unplayed games.

I've already got cats who would love to hang out with me a bit more, and the local animal shelters have many unhomed cats already in them.

But I want the special new cat.

Try bribing one with a can of tuna.

a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as “a weird cat.” It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary.

In their paper, the researchers propose the cat should be known as Leopardus tilcayo, in honor of the word local people know it by. "We asked the local people, ‘Why do you call it tilcayo?’” says Nogales-Ascarrunz, who is herself from Bolivia. “And they said, ‘I don’t know! My grandpa called it tilcayo, so I call it tilcayo.” (The name does not appear to mean anything particular in Spanish or the Quechua language spoken in Bolivia.)

I've never once seen one post any oc, nor even any reposts!

Same energy as “shark-infested waters”, you mean where they live???

we need to do it right meow

They domesticated themselves. Saw an opening and took it. We got lucky they chose us.

There was this meme of some Russian dude who kept a caracal as a pet. I've also seen people have servals as pets. I think they'll likely just be as unpredictable as house cats but the damage they can do is much bigger.

Don't worry, the wiki editors removed it already
