We love that!!

Big Cat Rescue Is it okay to own a Sand Cat?

probably not. they did a video on rescuing 5 smaller cats froma house in NY which were wild cats even though they were living with people. the thing about house cats is that they have been bred/domesticated to live with people like dogs have. but the wilder an animal is the more likely it will be to demonstrate or engage in (normal for them) behaviors that can be dangerous to humans......why would you want to deprive an animal of its normal wild home anyway just to satisfy your wants? its selfish and not cool, and its not good for the animal bc they will always be longing for the wild at some instinctual level

We never think is ok to own a wild cat. Wild animals deserve and belong in the wild.

I have a question, are sand cats like camels? do they have the eye thingy?

Like Pandas 😔

especially sapphire cats

+Rasha 86 XD

I think lots of common animals are pretty. :)

Savannah Gallagher They are rare because of their beauty. Some people want to own or wear them when what our species is supposed to be doing is protecting them & their natural environments.

Actually ever cat has that🤣

My Cat has that expression most of the time lol.

Lol

more like "if i was bigger than you i could kill you for fun" face.

Seems like he loves to explore

A finnick cat mixed with a kitten

Ah a girls and panzer profile pic very nice

Not chonky cute sand cat

That doesn't look like a normal cat anyways

@@docnixx1634 for some it probably would tho

@@docnixx1634 have you ever met juvenile bobcat? You cant tell until its too late

That would be a painful, 'Not a cat' -moment.

Hahahahahahaha! You got me laughing so hard!

Tess Weaver hell yeah

Tess Weaver Bad boys bad boys bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Snake🐍: OH SH!T! IM OUT!!!

Hause cats can kill snakes too

Lmao

Lol

haha I was thinking the same thing, I love it

is she hot?

I got this feeling as well.

Lmao reading off an index card

death won’t avoid me from giving belly rub and kissy kissy

studio errors Water is scarce in the dessert and some animals were given the ability to use its prey''s body fluids for its own fluid requirements. The prey serves two functions. The first is to give their predators the meat - protein that they need to survive on and the body fluids it needs to meet its own body fluid requirements.

domesticated cats ancestors had the same trait btw, they also were desert cats.

"Drinking blood to survive" - that's why i love them

Predator! I'm rolling in mud now.

BLOODTHIRSTY CUTIES

he looks so fluffy , I love his eyes 😍

diy & tutorials yea he looks cute but Believe me he's so wild cat I saw him killed a snake so easily.. these animals kinda rare

you have to pay to get good stuff, and to get to touch a sand cat you have to pay with your hand being torn to rags

Ishzark Klyon That is for darn sure!

Cute but cyaon is dead

He'd be great if thanos comes around. "You should've gone for the head."

True look it up that's what cats do to snakes they whack them in the head until they are too dazed to fight back.

House cats do the same .. they learned from your mother

Not sure why that freaks you out, but you ARE aware that cats eat meat, right?

Yeah house cats do it too

My house cat is 12 pounds

canyon 6.6 is ideal body for him. your cat 8 is overweight cat lol

Mailana Priyo Lestariyanto 8 pounds is not overweight lol. Depends on the type of cat but I had a 23 pound cat that was overweight but he was a neutered male and I had a outside male tomcat and he was 17-18 pounds and was solid. He would disappear for a while then randomly show up on the porch to clean himself, drink some water and eat and then he’d disappear again with his hoes.🤣

My house cat is 50 pounds

Wait does that make it overweight

Jennifer Ellison i

Yeah!

Yasssss

Yeah you're right that's what I'm thinking the same

Yeah

Just made a comment that is about their similar looks to the fennec fox XD

*He IS a wild animal. 😊*

Cattitude

He's dead. The idiots here feed him chicken necks and their policy of two people who have separate keys killed him. He checked to death trying to round the bitches up.

@@AraCod what?

Maybe you should tone that down before you get clocked

@@casualcrisis6349 😂😂

its a better name than Canyon. far better, in fact

CutieDevilX3 he's dead now. RIP canyon.

Derpyhooves 19 *crayon

Buy a cat a name it Crayon

Welp. I now know what I'm gonna name my next cat.

😐

Go right ahead.

i think it’s the same size of an average house cat

For the health of the animals you probably shouldn't..the cats there already experienced enough abuse from humans, they don't need us forcing ourselves on them just because it benefits us. Secondarily if you loose a finger, they loose their life, is risking yourself and the cats life really worth the one potential pet? Laws in many states in the US require animals to be put down if they bite and it's much more strict with wild animals (such as these lovely big cats, if they hurt anyone BCR is required by law to put the cat down; it's why they're so cautious of these cats..it's for everyone's safety to not touch the kitties)

@@testerwulf3357 I’m pretty sure it was a joke.

No

i think we wants to high five to people

No

sand cats: "now you die."

Still a wild animal

That's if Saddam had used chemical weapons...

@@CompTechMike The US meanwhile dumped around 350 tons of depleted uranium....

Thats if america invade all other country dumb ass america country war for oil

@@CompTechMike In a sense he did when he ordered all those oil wells to be torched.

But is so sad that he's dead since almost 2 years ago... sorry for tell you this bad news sites.google.com/site/bigcattributes/home/canyon

Ian Said aw that's so sad. I was teary-eyed for a moment that he choked on that chicken bone. 😞😞. RIP Canyon. You will be missed.

canyon is gone....rip....

cats usually like cute girls, but since this little one was a wild sand cat I think he'd have turned into something between chainsaw, blender and mass destruction weapon

mariaviolette well he's died I know it's sad I want to do that too

Sand cats are usually half the size of domestic cats.

That's just adorable. And considering one of my cats is very large for a house cat (not fat, just BIG), it would be cute to see a side-by-side comparison.

+Big Cat Rescue Can they be domesticated? I would never do that to one, just curious.

🤣🤣

and so fluffy, so killer.

thats exactly why i love sand cats too! their so cute, fluffy, and sassy!

Same

Yes they make you literally die

Yikes

Same!

He unfortunately passed away now:(((

Rajani Nag they all look the same..stop lying

He passed away.. probably after he read your comment

😂 pretty much 😂

Canyon is so adorable, even when he hisses at the camera!

Lmfao you and my nephew are the same🤣🤣

Lol that's so relatable

This cat died. bigcatrescue.org/canyon/

@@fendysusanto876 Why did you have to tell me while I was enjoying this joke?

Caracals Turkish Angora Fishing Cats

Baby lynx have razor sharp claws!

Talking Meowth

All the little wild cats and Somalis, Havannah browns, Singapuras, Egyptian Maus and other rare domestics.

Da Dragon Durp Why do I see you everywhere. Like, on 95% of the videos I watch you're there.

He's probably the meanest cat there. If you think about, all the other cats are bigger than him, so he would have to be the meanest to make up for size.

chrismc410 Reminds me of the League of Legends champ Gnar hahahaha

boys can be sassy

***** Who cares?

***** boys cant be sassy? Do you know the definition of sassy? sas·sy 1 (ss) adj. sas·si·er, sas·si·est 1. Rude and disrespectful; impudent. 2. Lively and spirited; jaunty. 3. Stylish; chic: a sassy little hat.

We agree!

+madomanc The smallest feline is a masterpiece

look up African Wildcat, those are the ones the Egyptians kept as pets, the ancestors of our pet cats

That's not true

pls

madomanc lol you consider a animal that can be killed a god. and no one can become a god you dumbass if you wish too believe that you are one than let me harm you because a god cannot be harmed and you suggest these animals as gods. their cannot be more than one god if their was this world would have been destroyed along time ago cause their being more than one god will bring corruption

Khajiit has cute, if you have coin.

Pepschi Sprenggläubige Canyon died in 2014.

we all miss canyon derpy candy.. rest in peace bro!

Thank you for your recommendation!

What country do you belong to?

That IS really cool! Are you from Saudi Arabia? My country's national animal is the beaver. Still cool, but not quite as badass (they fell trees, but they don't punch snakes to death and survive on the body fluids of their prey)!

Sand cats are in North africa too, .(Sahara desert)

@@beatnikmary I taught your national animal is Justin Bieber...

@@thereal5599 😂😂😂

Crimson Tyger I don’t think any of them are in heaven. Sorry

Did Canyon pass away?

Canyon passed away in December of 2014.

:(

Ria Rio Oh well that just sucks

Racist

Tenza Emtade how? Its a type of species

@@gh0st851 more of a mutation with sorta shady origins-

OMG SO CUTE I WANT ONE. But you are completely right. Big cats belong in the wild! Plus this little guy is endangered/vulnerable, isn't he? We should leave them alone. (except for places like Big Cat Rescue)

My cat is a wildcat but she acts like a house cat

Pauline Dear Yes and at the end when he does that spit/hiss where the caption thank you and you get a shot of his which are larger than a domestic cat, would you really want your hand/forearm caught between his upper and lower jaws?! I sure as heck do not. !!

Even 'feral' cats (house cats who live outside and are wary of humans) are very hard to domesticate, often it's impossible to touch them!

But 'house' cats are wild as well. They catch birds, lizards insects etc. Only reason why house cats generally live in homes because they are born and/or raised at the vet or someone's home.

Adorable aren't they..so small but they are Bad little Dudes And Dudettes

Thank you for watching!

Noah Hood - hey baby boy Noah

This wins.

They probably never would, it is an endangered species that only lives in some parts of Africa and Saudi Arabia, with a count of only about 116 worldwide :) spread the awareness and save these amazing creatures

Incase you didn't hear the reasons sand cats are threatened in the video, i did not make it up, and they are highly endangered. Here is a link to the page about sand cats on the bigcatrescue website. Scroll dien until you she the heading "How rare is this cat?" And read. If you still think they are not endangered you are even more of an idiot than before bigcatrescue.org/sand-cat-facts/

Half cat half kitten thats why big ears

Sand cats are fascinating. bigcatrescue.org/canyon/

self sufficient and wild are not the same thing.
