Black-footed cat

The black-footed cat, also called small-spotted cat (''Felis nigripes''), is the smallest African cat, and is endemic in the southwest arid zone of the southern African subregion. It is one of the lesser-studied African carnivores, and is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN since 2002.〔Sliwa, A. (2004). Home range size and social organization of black-footed cats (''Felis nigripes''). Mammalian Biology 69 (2): 96–107.〕

Despite its name, only the pads and underparts of the cat's feet are black. The cat has a stocky build with round ears, large eyes, and short black-tipped tail. The fur varies in color from cinnamon-buff to tawny, and is patterned with black or brown spots that merge to form rings on the legs, neck, and tail. These patterns help the animal camouflage. However, the back of their ears are the same color as the background color of their fur. They have six mammae and, unlike other species of spotted cats, non-pigmented skin.
