The flat-headed cat. Which seems a) a bit mean on the part of the naturalist who named them, and b) like bad 17th century taxidermy. Native to Southeast Asia, super endangered and part-aquatic.

The sand cat. So. Over. It.
Weighing all of 7.5lbs / 3.4kg, this tiny desert warrior is capable of killing venomous snakes like sand vipers, but mostly it preys on small rodents and birds.

I should point out that the African civet at the very top of the thread is not a cat, although belongs to the same feliformia suborder that cats do. No idea why I tagged the mini-wildcat thread onto him, but there was wine involved.
