This tiny wild cat has the cutest hiss called a spit. But looks can be deceiving.

[ElliLavender]

They're so cute and beautiful and I wish every single sand cat in the world the very best.

[K.Dilkington]

"They get all the moisture they need from their prey."

Translation: They drink the blood of their enemies.

I don't understand how an animal this cute exists. My brain is melting looking at them.

Cameraman's patience is off the charts for not trying to pet the cat.

We took one of those home from Morocco when I was 6 years old in early 70’s. They were still very rare in Morocco back then, we don’t know how she got there or where her tribe was, but she was starved and would not have lived long. She was about 1 year old according to our Vet, and by the time she died she was an ancient 25 years old. She never lost her instincts and sometimes would be gone for weeks, but always came back to our family. She was a simply amazing companion to our family for many many years.

I'm trying so hard to remember that those kittens are wild animals BUT THEY'RE SO FREAKING CUTE.

Fun fact: Sand cats have dense hair and pads on the soles of each foot that protect against the intense heat and cold of their habitat, as well as aiding in movement across the sand. The pads help them navigate across shifting sands. Sand cats are fearless snake hunters, their prey can include venomous vipers and other snakes.

I don’t care what it costs. I want it. I’ll turn my house into a desert, whatever it takes.
