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.

[@hopelove897]

[@lowrider81hd]

@Lanii G I think the key is to not force a cat like that to become what you want it to be, but gently nudge it and provide a save place with consistency and privacy. We have a Bengal and a Serval. I noticed that no matter how “loving” and cuddly you are, they have their own mind and you can’t manipulate or control them with love. You can however make them highly interested in you and coming back for more by way of playing with them and keeping them entertained, interested and steady consistency is the most important of all. Just my two cents…

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 was working and living on an oil lease in lea county new mexic for about 3 years. I got glimpses of several of these cats during that time. Views so brief that I thought they were cougars because they had a long tail but I had nothing to judge their overall size. Finally one day three of them walked across the road 20 yards in front of me and i was able to find pictures of them on the internet and was able to learn what they were. My boss had lived in the area 60 years and had never seen one or knew they existed. The town of Jal, NM has a high school whos mascot is a wildcat and i was maybe 30 miles from Jal. Getting to see them is one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

As true wild cats, they are not adapted for living alongside humans.

The fact it can live and travel several miles per day without ever needing water is mind-blowing. Can you imagine if we evolved humans to not need to drink? I think that would be equally mind-blowing.

[@demetrialowther727]

The secret really comes down to super efficient kidneys. Even domestic cats have really supercharged kidneys (and sadly the reason older cats often get kidney problems because they're so overengineered). Though with domestic cats, easy access to safe water means they don't really need full reliance on getting water from their prey. Generally kidneys work by first excreting a lot of fluid and then running it through a water recovery system that reabsorbs only the water back into the blood and with sand cats, that water recovery system before the urine is passed to the bladder is supercharged.
