Once upon a time, someone in the Middle East said "pspspsps" and the rest was history

It's really awesome seeing cats in their natural environment!

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

People, this is literally the cat your domesticated cat evolved from. Of course they look alike, it's like a wolf to a husky.

Documentary: This is a wild animal.
Me: I have two of those in my house.

So cute when he was eating those flying termites lol. These cats are amazing, no wonder they have conquered the world. Such a varied diet and an excellent hunter. It's hard to imagine a cat like this in its natural environment ever going hungry. Even if it's injured, it can survive on insects. So versatile and adaptable.

"The wild cat spent the whole day resting"

It's kind of weird seeing a regular looking cat not in someone's house or yard.

Our zoo had one of these and in the smallest cage i felt so bad. She just walked with people as they walked by rubbing the fence...they had no boundrys around the fence so i got close just to see how she would react and she was just rubbing like a house cat so stuck my hand flat up to the fence and she just wanted love. Didn't act like a wild cat. After that i was to sad to stay and have refused to step foot in a zoo. That small cage was inhumane just because its a small cat doesnt mean it should be all alone in a small cage. Broke my heart. She acted like a lovable house cat...probably not normal at all which means she needed change. Idk if she's still there i haven't been in 7 years.

That cat looks a lot like my cat, even I recognized the same moves. Cats will be the same forever, wild or tame.

My cat reacted just like this cat to all the sounds in the video!

I used to have this cat. She was a stray found pregnant in a gas station parking lot. For a long time I thought she was just a cat until I read an article about the African wildcat in a Ranger Rick magazine. She was very long with huge eyes and huge ears, an excellent Hunter and her markings were 100% identical to the African wildcat. She was very smart and independent. I had a very special bond with her that I don't think I will ever have with another pet again. It was an amazing Stroke of Luck and fate that she ended up with me. She was my soulmate. Rip Dilly

I really miss my cat, she passed away couple of days ago. I rescued her from the street. She was just like this guy. Rest in Peace my Nina ❤️.

[pandaotakup]

I know that house cats are descendants of these but it amazes me still
Just how similar they still are. I can go and film my cat in the wild and there's no difference

This explains all the crazy stuff my tabbie does

[agus]

You call him "wild cat"

[frankdux]

[JimBrownski]
