Informative Tumblr Thread: Getting To Know The Half-Weasel Half-Cat

Listen, we're not obsessed with big cats. We're not. Fine, maybe a little bit. It's just that big cats are so adorable, and they come in so many cool shapes and forms and levels of fluff. Like, have you seen lynx and their huge mitten paws? There's no way to not be in love with them, or cheetah moms with their itty bitty Cheetos?

We always want to find out more and learn about big cats, so that's what we're doing today. We're about to learn about the Fossa - who looks somewhere between a weasel and a cat. They're one of the most pawdorable murderfluffballs ever. And they're one of the most unique and strangest small wild cats.

No, actually, we have not wondered about that previously, but reading the caption and seeing this picture of this utmost wonderful creative, you have us captive. We want to know everything about this cat. Because we want to know everything about every cat. Especially big cats.

Somehow, this animal manages to look fierce, intimidating and awwdorable at the same time. Look at its nose - this is a boopable nose if we have ever seen one. It is basically asking to be booped, and yet, we get the impression that we would get our finger bitten off if we try. Ah, well, worth it.
