Desert is a forbidden area for life, and it lacks water necessary for biological growth, so there are few species and quantities of creatures in the desert, but there are always some animals with tenacious vitality and little demand for water, such as snakes, lizards and gerbils. It is because of these animals that a kitten settled here and "conquered" the desert. This is the desert cat.

Desert cat is the only species of desert cat, which is widely distributed in deserts of Asia and Africa. Except for the breeding season, they are as lonely as most cats. They have a fixed estrus. When they are in estrus, they will make a shrill cry like a domestic cat, similar to the crying of a baby, and desert cats also have a strong sense of territory. They will leave paw prints on some rocks or dead branches with their paws.

Many people think that desert cats are so small and cute that they can be kept as pets like cats, but this idea is very dangerous, because on the one hand, desert cats have never been domesticated and are very aggressive. In the wild environment, they can treat poisonous snakes and desert monitor lizards as "spicy strips" and kill all kinds of mice, which is quite powerful; On the one hand, because the desert cat has been highly adapted to the desert environment, it is very easy to get sick in captivity, so the desert cat can watch from a distance without being ridiculous.
