In the wild, leopard cat pelts fetch a high price in the fur trade. But the cats are also a sought-after pet in Asia. And once a family gets one, more kittens are on the way, resulting in a wild population that’s out of control. Jean Mill, who runs a feral-cat rescue in Brooklyn, has taken a controversial approach to the problem. She’s attempting to control the population by trapping, neutering, and returning the hybrids.
A small, medium-sized felid, the Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is a wide-ranging predator that inhabits temperate regions across Asia. The cat is distinguished by its elongated legs, svelte body, and bold spots arranged in rosettes. Typically tawny, tawny-grey or yellow above with black rosettes on the sides and back, the leopard cat’s spotted, ruffled coat can also be white, red, gray, brown or blond.
Leopard Cats are solitary in the wild and are not social. Typically they are found in forests, mountains and rocky crevices. Males have large home ranges and are often territorial.
Female Leopard Cats give birth to 1-4 babies, called cubs. The cubs are blind when born and their eyes open within 10 days. The mother hides her cubs in thick vegetation until they are eight weeks old. She then starts teaching them to hunt. Her young eat rodents, reptiles, birds and larger mammals such as hares, warthogs and antelopes. They become sexually mature at around two years and are independent after that, although they may have reunions with their mothers.
