Physical Appearance
The leopard cat is approximately the size of a domestic house cat, but with
longer legs. The ground color of this cat can range from a pale yellow, to a
golden yellow, to a reddish or greyish yellow. They have many large, solid,
black spots and blotches covering their entire body. The spots may form
stripes on areas of the neck and back. Their under belly and underside of
their face is white. They also have black ears with one large white spot in
the middle of the back of each ear, which most cats have.
Diet
They have a varied diet, and may eat rodents, rabbits, musk deer, muntjac,
birds, reptiles and fish. They have been known to kill domestic poultry.
Reproduction and Social Behavior
These cats are nocturnal, and during the day they spend their time in dens
that may be hollow trees, cavities under roots, or caves. They spend time
out during the day in areas where there are no humans. The leopard cat is
solitary, except during breeding season. There is no fixed breeding period
in the southern part of their range; but in the colder northern parts they
tend to breed around March or April, when the weather is nice enough to
support newborn kittens. The estrus period lasts for 5-9 days. After a
gestation period of 9-10 weeks, two to three kittens are born in a den, and
there they will remain until they are a month old. They open their eyes at
ten days old, and start to eat solid food at 23 days. If the kittens are
killed the mother can come into heat again and have another litter that
year.
Threats
This cat is killed primarily for its skin. They are fully protected.
Subspecies

lives in Tsushima, a small island between Japan and Korea. It is considered
to be the same subspecies as the Manchurian cat, except just a little darker
in coloration. They hide in the forests on the mountains of this small
island, where they remain unpersecuted.
