And I think this one is an Ocelot - which I'd love equally as much!

Not for me I say leave the wild in the wild.
Or in the hands of people who treat them as wild animals not pets, I understand we need to preserve and protect and breeding groups are needed but leave them alone. My Personal opinion.

Gorgeous breath taking markings I agree but what the good of beautiful packaging if the life is confined.

Give me a moggy any day markings just as stunning.

Re: I wish I could have...


I've never heard of the Margay cat (Caucel) but have to agree it is a stunning animal! Those markings are so clear, making it a very attractive cat..
I think this pic is superb ....... that's what I call relaxing with a capital R...



It's very similar to the ocelot isn't it?
