Tumblr Thread: Wild Cats That Look Like Harmless Little House Cats

Did you know that the smallest wild cat in Africa is also the deadliest cat? Yeah, it is so tiny it could fit in the palm of your hand, and yet, it has the highest kill rate. Now, that's what we call murdermittens. This kitten looks like a completely regular run-of-the-mill house kitten, harmless and awwdorable. Really, if we saw it in the wild, we would probably wonder if we should rescue it. 

But, no, small wild cats are not ones that you want to take home. It is not easy to take care of a wild cat, and their place is not in our homes anyway. Apparently though, you are more likely to get confused than you may think. Let tumblr help and show you which small wild cats are actually not up for adoption. Be amazed and 'aww' all at the same time.
