Known as the world’s smallest cat, Rusty-Spoted cats are found only in India, Sri Lanka, and marginally in Nepal.
With a smaller body, large eyes, and short and round ears, these cute fur balls are thought to have lived in forests and now can be spotted in abandoned houses.
Let’s know some of the unique characteristics that set them apart from other domestic cats:
Fits To Human Palm: The size of a newborn Rusty cat is similar to a chicken egg. When they grow to adulthood they can fit into a human palm.
Ferocious: Don’t underestimate them with their smaller size. With a wild and untamable nature, they have the temperament of a tiger or lion.
Camouflage skills: Smaller in size with brownish fur, the cat can easily disappear into the wild before you know it.
Born Killer: While its passive skills make you woo over them, don’t be surprised by their killing skills when near prey.
Sharp Memory: Be it a falling leaf or the coming prey, nothing can escape their sharp senses. Everything you do is etched into their memory.
Strong Sense Of Smell: This cat can identify millions of different scents, sensing the slightest change in the airflow.
Alertness: This cat has an enhanced version of alertness and curiosity that of normal cats and a vision 6 times better than humans.
