AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING (NOT) COMPLETELY DIFFERENT -- THE KODKOD CAT!

[tarasgirl06]

For those of you who've never heard of this cat, the kodkod is a very tiny South American wild cat. You might expect the kodkod to meow. But you'd be wrong. HERE for the first time is the kodkod's vocalizing!

You're so welcome, neely . There are quite a few small wild cats about which little is known. I hope it stays that way, too, because the less humans contact them, the safer they are.

Adorable little cat, but the poor little things are probably vulnerable to all kinds of predators, as small as they are. I played that sound on high volume, and one of my cats kept trying to "catch" whatever was inside my phone!

That's why they are so shy and their coloring blends in with their surroundings. The best part of being little-known by humans? Being little-known by humans, of course
