Black-footed cats are one of the smallest cat species. They make up for their small size with attitude, willing to take on prey much larger than they are. There is a legend they can kill a giraffe. While this is hyperbole, it does speak to their ferocious nature.

Where most cats climb, the black-footed cat prefers to dig burrows, or find other places to hide.
