Black-footed cat

Black footed cat

The smallest cat in Africa, the black footed cat is a spotted cat – it is roughly half the size of the domestic cat. They are found throughout southern Africa, but are rarely spotted, partly due to their size, aswell as usually being mistaken for other things.

They exist in well known parks such as the Kruger, but their stronghold is the semi arid region of the Karoo.
