Criminally Underrated Small Wild Cats

We love cats. That's a fact. All of you here who have clicked on this list love cats completely. That means, of course, that you love all cats, not just our cute house kitties, not just the dangerous and awwdorable big cats, but every single criminally underappreciated small wild cat that there is, and today, you're going to be able to give these wild kitty cats all the love that they deserve.

They're dangerous, they're super duper cute. We want to pet each and every one of them even though we know they're dangerous. They're just... so cat-like-looking, and our brains automatically want to pet every single cat that they see. Well, we can love them from afar, at least.

"Tibetan Pallas cat just chillinnnn"

An absolute unit of an underrated cat. We love it, we want it, please let us pet it. He's so huge and beautiful and too fluffy for this world. We want to give it all the love and all the wet food it might ever want. We will respect your chonky, floofy majesty.

"An Ant-hill tiger, more commonly known as a Black-footed cat."

The tiniest, scariest wild kitten. It's possibly the cutest underrated wild cat in this list. We can see, just from the look in its eyes just how dangerous and ferocious it is. We're not going to try to get in your way, little kitten of doom and cuteness, we're sure that you are much, much scarier than you look.
