The leopard cat is a small wild cat with dark spots on the tawny-coloured body and limbs. It has two dark stripes running from the eyes to the ears and smaller white streaks running from the eyes to the nose, and two to four rows of elongated spots along its back. Its tail is about half the size of its head-to-body length.
