This is a wild special of cat that looks snobbish and pissed off, I love the facial expression of this wild cat specie because its annoyed no matter what. They wont make good pets though because they were too shy and they hate humans. They were much more smaller than domesticated cats. Their head have a very strange shape.I think they were called sand cats because they live in the desert and they love playing in sand.

eventhough they dont get along I love cats and reptiles, The sand cats were very small so they were very vulnerable in wild. Wolves and snakes always hunt them.They usually live in abandoned burrows of hamsters or foxes.

They almost look like they have an owl's face on them. I watched your video of that older cat then I had to check out this other video about the Sand Cat Kittens. Awwwwwwwwe they are adorable and you're right, they have pouty snobbish looks to themselves but they are so cute.

Take care

They were nocturnal and I think that makes them snobbish, I think in the middle east there more preferred to be in captivity to keep them safe from predators . These cats cannot be kept together in 1 cage,they were solitary and unfriendly to each other, they were only socializing during mating season.

The unique color of the animal has a lot to do with it as well. I mean it does remind me of sand, and it blends well in deserts. Though admittedly it does look kind of cute if you ask me. Personally though I wouldn't dare attempt to have a real wild animal as a pet, and I pitty those that attempt such a thing.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

They really need to blend with the sand as camouflage since they were at the bottom of the food chain.

Sand cats were kinda endangered because wolves and snakes were kinda over populated and they keep on eating them but thats mother nature.

super duper cute cats, I think they are bigger or as size of domesticated cats. But they are more bigger than Philippine cats. This cats are so lovable, I missed my cats at home.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Sand cats are actually the smallest cats on earth, they were the size of guinea pigs thats why wolves and snakes keeps on eating them. In the whild they live in abandoned hamster holes.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Correction, I mean Wild not whild


myLot reputation of 95/100. laniekins (1905)   ranked 404 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

Oh I see, they look big in the video.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Its a close up shot I guess but they have the same size with regular kittens, thats how small they were, even eagles get to eat them because of their size. They were not really endangered because of humans but with all the predators they have. Plus there was a shortage of their food source I think because other predators were eating all the hamsters and gerbils before they do.

AwwwWWWWwww!!! They're so adorable! And I mean the grown cats as well as the kittens (saw those in a different video)! I wonder what would happen if you had to raise one from very shortly after birth; would they be so standoffish? They might...sigh.... I just ache to pet one, & of course I'd draw back a bloody nub if I tried! lol But they're just SO darn cute! LOVE those big ears!

I'm so glad people are caring for them.

They were very nocturnal, At day, they were hiding in their burrows or any tight spaces to hide from their predators.

she is cute and normal, like any other cat. keep her and give her a good, loving, and happy home with lots of attention. and she will be ok.


myLot reputation of 96/100. albertwhisker (4532)  2 years ago

Its an endangered specie cat, They were only taken care of in animal shelters, Sand cats are animals who were endangered not because of humans but because of the over population of wolves, larger cats and eagles in snakes on it's habitat, This cat were not advised as pets since they want to be solitary. They were the size of guinea pigs.
