Dawwww! So cute.
Riverbanks Zoo down in South Carolina had some of the black-footed cats mentioned in the article. They are about the same size as these little guys, but size means nothing for those black-footed cats. The handlers had to wear chainmail gloves when feeding them. Those furballs were VICIOUS and totally fearless. They were so sweet-looking and furry and cute and (so the rumors said) would absolutely mess up anybody that got near them.
Whereas my fat near-30-pound Maine Coon is only dangerous to bowls of kibble and exceptionally stupid mice...
