The leopard print is quite distinctive and has rosettes (rather than spots as they are most commonly called). There are variations in the color of the coats and the shape of the rosettes depending on the habitat of the leopard.

Leopards and Their Spots
Leopards are one of the four big cats along with lions, tigers and jaguars and is the smallest cat within this group. Leopards are known for their agility and strength, including the ability to climb trees even when they are carrying the carcass of their latest kill. Leopards are incredibly fast animals and can reach speeds of almost 60 kilometers and hour.

The Lovely Lynx
There are four species of true lynxes - the Eurasian lynx, the Canadian lynx, the Iberian lynx and the bobcat. The Eurasian lynx and the Iberian lynx can be found in Europe and the Canadian Lynx and bobcat are found in North America. Unfortunately the Iberian lynx is the most endangered cat species in the world!
The lynx is distinguishable by the tufts of black hair on the end of the ears and an almost beard like ruff of fur under their neck. They have short tails and long whiskers.

The Two Faces of Kittens
Kittens are cute, playful and even a little bit cheeky, which is one of the reasons why so many of us cannot resist them. They are inquisitive, some would even say nosey, which makes them quite adorable as they find themselves in amusing situations.
But... as many of us would also know, kittens are also somewhat devilish. Hiding in corners, waiting to pounce as you wander innocently past. They are sometimes a little crazy and always want to be the boss.

The Many Faces of a Cat - Part V
The Face of a Sleeping Cat
The face of a cat sleeping is cute, serene and absolutely lovable. They seem so content and at peace with all that is going on around them. A cat in a deep sleep looks so comfortable and cozy and full of wonderful dreams.

The Face of the Scary Cat
While cats can have faces which are cute, adorable, loving and sweet, there is one thing that you can be sure... they can change as quick as anything into attack mode, with a face that says they want to hurt you and torment you! Any cat owner certainly knows what I mean!

A Cat's Skeleton
A unique way of looking at the cat. The cat's skeleton over the silhouette. You will never look at your pet kitty the same again.

The Face of a Land Owner
Cats are very territorial and they love to lord over the area that they own. They will often find a high point so they can see everything that goes on and quickly oust those that place a paw on their land. Cats love to find hiding places so they can do surprise attacks on their enemies when required.

The Attention Grabbing Face
Cats certainly know how to grab our attention - sometimes it is just a look of anticipation, letting you know they are waiting (usually for their dinner or a scratch). At other times, they let us know through their meows and other tricks for getting our attention.

The Face of Contemplation
Cats spend much of their time in contemplation and like to sit where they can view the world while deep in thought. What they are thinking is a complete mystery - is it thoughts of food which keeps them so entranced or wondering where their newest hiding spot will be? Perhaps they are thinking of how to torment the dog next door or what demands they are going to place on their human owner when they return home.
What do you think these cats are contemplating?
