SAND CAT ─ The Pint-sized Grim Reaper of Desert Vipers!

Barely bigger than a house cat, the 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗔𝗧 stalks and takes down venomous desert vipers with lightning speed and unmatched agility. Surviving in the unforgiving dunes with its incredible camouflage to its bone-chilling nocturnal prowls, this pint-sized grim reaper reigns supreme in the harsh embrace of the desert.

I can vouch for the 'semi-retractable claws'. In 1980, I moved to Saudi Arabia to work as an expat in the Oil industry at ARAMCO. We lived in a trailer park in the desert for a few months before we were assigned a proper house inside the expat settlement at Dhahran. Anyway, one night we heard a cat under the trailer, and discovered a tiny kitten in a piece of discarded plastic sewerage pipe. It apparently was abandoned by a less than perfect mother. We eventually took it in, fed it, and it purred loudly and snuggled up to us. Left it in a bedding box for the night. We also gave it a sandbox, which it used without training. AT bedtime, It howled miserably until we moved it into the bedroom, where it crawled up into the bed, purring loudly. We kept the playful kitten for a few weeks, but eventually gave it away to another couple & their son, as it played roughly and never could retract its claws. And our arms were always badly scratched, tho the cat continued purring and snuggling and was never really angry, and never scratched out of fear. They eventually moved to another ARAMCO site in Ras Tanura, and we lost track of them. We discovered much later that it was actually a Sand Cat, and NOT a domestic cat.

[@BEASTERS]

That WAS AMAZING!!!

[@qua7771]

Thanks for sharing this. Watching. The video, I was wondering how they might behave as pets.

[@myblacklab7]

I think it is hard for cats to be gentle, because their skin is so much stronger than ours. A lot of bites and scratches are actually signs of affection that are not at all painful, if you have tough cat skin, so it takes a lot of discipline for a cat to learn not to bite or scratch too hard. I think domestic cats are probably very intelligent, which is how they figure out to be gentle enough, assuming they receive training from a good human. With that sand cat, you probably would just need to live with the scratches, since it will probably never understand that humans have weak, fragile skin compared to cats.

Cats are the only truly magical creature left in the world. And dolphins. And elephants. My longhaired dachshund is a genius so he's pretty special, too. But there's something about cats... My son was glad Molly cat wasn't any bigger. She tucked him in every night and was very strict about his bedtime. He had visions of a giant Molly picking him up by the scruff of his neck and carrying him off to bed herself. She kept him cozy every night. She had chosen him as her special human. Murphy, her brother, loved everybody. And they were treasured in return. The fun we had with those two goofy cats in the house!

Cats are amazing! I live in an area surrounded by tall grass and sugarcane fields. It's not uncommon to find dead snakes in the morning, either in front of my door or just outside our gate, likely attempting to enter. I rescue stray cats, and they sleep all over the house. I also have tiny puppies, and my cats protect them from these snakes. There was also a memorable incident during a power outage when it was very dark. I had only one flashlight, and a bat flew inside. One of my cats instantly killed the bat with a single strike of its paw.

These cats need protection. That is a small amount population of these cats. And if hunting them for the sheer desire to kill something, anything without some protection, it can take less than two years to become endangered. But these are not the only species of small cats that are treated like pests. There is a tiny one of the Amazon (can't remember what they're called) are becoming fewer in number. So much focus on bigger species that the smaller ones, just as important, get overlooked & little to no funding for study.

So I sang out loud to them. "What's new pussycat. Woah, woah, woah. That a Tom Jones song from the 1960's." The husband said with excitement. "That's a great song." And we all laughed because I had the best line in that moment. I loved this sand cat video such an incredible animal that evolution perfected almost beyond belief.
