this is the best gift that anyone could have gotten me
Real talk.
I VALUE my alone time. Like I deadass love my peace and quiet
To celebrate the USA’s win–and it is a win, in spite of all the very real concerns–I thought I’d make another cat post, because they make people happy and it’s a happy day! Going to try to find three images per species, but some are pretty hard to find as many of these cats are rare and/or elusive!
First off, the subfamily of roaring kittens! Pantherinae:
Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa):
Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), not common:
Leopard (Panthera pardus):
Tiger (Panthera tigris):
Snow leopard (Panthera uncia):
Lion (Panthera leo):
Jaguar (Panthera onca):
Second and final (and much bigger) extant subfamily in Felidae, which is the purring kittens! Felinae:
Marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) does not want you to see its babies!:
Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii):
Bay cat (Catopuma badia), babies are elusive to say the least:
Serval (Leptailurus serval):
Caracal (Caracal caracal):
African golden cat (Caracal aurata), this is literally all I could find in the way of kittens:
Pampas cat (Leopardus colocola):
Andean mountain cat (Leopardus jacobita), very elusive baby:
Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis):
Margay (Leopardus wiedii):
Kodkod (Leopardus guigna), when the adult already looks like a kitten, the kitten looks…exactly the same as the adult, just smaller:
Geoffroy’s cat (Leopardus geoffroyi):
Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus):
Souther tiger cat (Leopardus guttulus):
Bobcat (Lynx rufus):
Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis):
Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx):
Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus):
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus):
Cougar (Puma concolor):
Jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguaroundi):
Pallas cat (Otocolobus manul):
Rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus):
Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis):
Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus):
Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps), couldn’t even find any photos, had to screenshot a video:
Sunda leopard cat (Prionailurus javanensis), another not easy to find kitten!:
Jungle cat (Felis chaus):
Black-footed cat (Felis nigripes), just remember this species has one of the highest kill rates of any cat:
Sand cat (Felis margarita):
Chinese mountain cat (Felis bieti):
European wildcat (Felis sylvestris):
African wildcat (Felis lybica):
and finally, Domestic cat (Felis catus)!:
Remember, there is only one species of kitten on this list that belongs as a pet, and that is our beautiful domestic cat. Some of the wild species are endangered, and as precious as all these babies, the wild ones are best left to the wild. :)
I had a dream about a version of Snow White where she’s actually like 12 and the dwarves basically adopted her it was basically Snow White and Her 7 Short Dads
When she got poisoned by the Queen the dwarves all gave her one last kiss on the forehead to say goodbye before her funeral and that was the true love’s kiss she needed to wake up, because her dads all loved her very much
Anyway Snow White is public domain so there’s literally nothing stopping me from publishing this
Andean Cock of the Rocks (ALWAYS WATCHING)
Arabian sand boas (DOING THEIR BEST)
Dik diks (SMALL?????????)
Softshell turtles (SMOOTH BOYS)
Christmas tree worms (FESTIVE FRIENDS)
Saiga antelopes (I LOVE YOU BUT WHY)
Baikal seals (ROUND BOYS)
Any time someone tells me birds aren’t descended from dinosaurs, I show them this.
Out of Touch
You aren’t actually dying the minute you are born. The definition of dying is when more cells are dying off than are being replaced and this happens once you hit 26. So you aren’t actually dying until you are 26 years old
Aesthetic: green parking lots
They improve infiltration of water to the soil, thus reducing floods by excessive drainage from soil-sealed land, and contribute to environmental and human health! Also they look pretty.
been trying to find this video for years
