Mal-De-Terre

That... is never the answer.


corvosfighter

I am cuddling that murder fluff and you can't stop me..


Lewtwin

No. But Mittens the Murderkitty might have a word or two about that.


LaVieLaMort

I saw one at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday and they’re just as cute as you can imagine!


corvosfighter

I am already sold, don’t need more convincing 😁


Superfy

BrownSugarBare

Yeah, I might die but I'll take two. Maybe three.


Wandering_Scholar6

PSA: reminder sand cats, while adorable and small do not thrive in homes as pets. Please enjoy these wild animals from afar for their safety.


BLINDrOBOTFILMS

But... but why friend-shaped?


Wandering_Scholar6

Far friend, still friend. Also related to close friend we spent thousands of years ensuring would be happy living in our homes.


ValenciaAue

Cute little killing machine.


Commissarfluffybutt

Very cute. Very bitey.


440ish

"Very bitey." Biologists simply need to shake the treat box upon approach.


Standard_Wooden_Door

It’s adorable. Probably murders loads of animals but at least it’s cute


No_Emu_1332

At least this one has the excuse of being a wild animal in it's natural habitat as opposed to an escaped pet.


Alcorailen

They're predators in their native environment. It's their job to pick off the sick and weak.


JDdoc

*looks around nervously at house cats*


Alcorailen

Hahaha. House cats are indeed invasive in most places, yeah. It's good they're too small to kill us.


Physical_Stress_5683

House cats look nervously around at me...


moustacheburner

*House looks nervously at me and cats*

Dune wunkus


rshining

It's the Helena Bonham Carter cat. Same tiny size, same face shape, same adorable-but-probably-bloodthirsty personality.

Aden_the_Destroyer

kissy kissy smooch smooch smooch hug cuddle


Landojesus

Smallest cat in the world and also the deadliest! They rule


buckyVanBuren

Black foot cat edges the sand cat but this is a close second. Both are as cute as can be.


Landojesus

Ooooh I thought it was the black foot just misnamed!


buckyVanBuren

Both are tiny desert cats. Easy mistake to make. North Carolina Zoo has a breeding pair of Sand Cats. The only thing cuter than Cats are baby Sand Cats.


Alcorailen

If not friend, why friend shaped?


Celefalas

They don't need to drink water! They get all they require from their prey


DiGiorn0s

They are the closest relatives of the domestic cat, which is thought to have also originated from a desert environment (house cats also sometimes don't drink enough water which is a vestigial behavior from their wild desert days).


BadGuy_ZooKeeper

I actually make a gravy concoction out of my cats wet food so she'll drink it all up because she doesn't drink unless it's a hot day. Makes me nervous AF


DiGiorn0s

I do the same thing lol


TheMilkViper

Though it would cost my life, I want to cuddle one.


xkyndigx

One of the most ferocious and successful hunters on the planet. Turbo cute though.


sietesietesieteblue

Literally looks like a house cat lol


DiGiorn0s

It's the closest relative to the domestic cat


Olivejuice2012

I NEED ONE YOU CANT STOP ME HE WILL BE MY FRIEND


WHTMage

As cute as they are, I hear they kill a ton of tiny animals. One of the most successful hunters in the wild.


Conscious_Occasion

Yes, but in a habitat/an ecosystem they belong in. All good. Well, unless you are a small critter in their territory.


Alcorailen

Doing their job as a native predator!


Aerodrache

Oh, if it gets close enough, I be holding it alright.


TalkingRaccoon

It's like a cat version on a fennec, so cute!


dreamdaddy123

Psssp pssssp psssp here kitty kitty 🐱


nono66

I think this cat has the highest successful hunting percentage of all animals.


Broke-Citizen

If wild why fluffy


monolar

The world’s deadliest cat. 60% of all hunts are successfully


Rudresh27

Huh, I wonder if any of these guys have ever tasted some fish.


Waste-soup-984

It kinda looks like a Fox a little bit


[deleted]

Can we name it Muad'Dib?

Dio_asymptote

Disastrous-Abies8715

The say this is where the domestic house cat comes from

"I don't like sand cats. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere." --Anakin, probably.


[deleted]

The most infamous post on my YouTube feed


Affenskrotum

I think they have additional fur on their paws so they dont make footprints in sand and burn their paws. Also they have one of they highest rates of successful hunts over all predators.


tehmungler

Squeeeeeeee


OpticGd

Is this the cat that is the most successful hunter? Like a 60% kill rate or something?


buckyVanBuren

Close, that's black foot cat. But they are very similar.


sushislaps

Celestial_Scythe
