Clouded leopards also have eye that are neither fully round like big cats nor slits like domestic cats. But a foot ball shaped oval. They have the longest canine teeth in proportion to their size of any cat. Their teeth are the same size as a tiger. Making them a modern saber toothed tiger.
Research has recently proven that dogs are actually smarter than cats, i.e. they have more than twice the number of neurons a cat has. While that may seem hard to believe, apparently socialising with us humans takes an enormous amount of brain power. Cats merely seem smarter….
What is this purring business? I have heard and felt an African lion (Felis, now Panthera, leo). Dallas zoo, c. 1950, named Flapper, age 6 months, sexually mature at 9 (and she sure did, producing more cubs than any on the zoo’s records).
Leave the cat up there. It figured out how to get there, it will figure out how to get down. I was owned by a certain cat for 19 years, and this kind of thing was a favorite trick of his. He always came down when he was ready. And then he would find me and hop into my lap for a good long, quiet purr.

I’ve never heard of clouded leopards enslaving humans. But I’m sure they would if they got the chance.

Didn’t know clouded leopards needed to be rescued from trees!
But then, Luddy is the lesser known “cloudy” leopard!

Is Ludwig a British Shorthair? He has the right fur and eye color, and chubby cheeks.

Purr-fect. Oh wait. The clouded leopard can’t purr.

So how did new world cats get here?
And, do the clouded leopards purr?

And Arlo’s response to that information: “I need help getting Ludwig down, not historical rationale for why he’s in the tree!”

All cats think alike. Big, little, doesn’t matter.

No one else fell in love with the fact of the big kitty in the first panel? The eyes speak volumes.

Ever find a cat skeleton in a tree? Me neither. Leave him alone and he’ll figure out how to get down.

Don’t worry, Arlo. I’ve never seen a cat skeleton in a tree.

Stuck up a tree.

A lady worried about kitties stuck up trees until she was told that nobody has ever found skeletons of cats in trees.
