Tumblr Thread: The Two Very Different Species Of Catopumas

Just when you think that animals couldn't get weirder… Somehow, every once in a while we find an animal that manages to surprise us. First, it was the Viscachas who looks like they're perpetually done with everything. Then, we discovered the Jaguarundis who just looks annoyed and confused all the time. Finally, just last week, we have encountered the Tasmanian Devil who looks so pettable but would probably bite your finger off if you actually tried to.

And today, tumblr is introducing us to the Catopuma. Or actually, we are learning about the two species of the genus so far - one of whom looks kind and warm and wholesome. The other… looks like a devil spawn. We're not even exaggerating. Scroll down, and you will see what we mean.

We are not sure if we've ever seen a cat that fits the description of "gentle" more perfectly. This is indeed the most gentle cat we haver ever laid eyes on. This is the kind of cat who would headbutt you and lick your nose and let you confide all your secrets in them.

And then this. This is a demon from hell. This is the kind of cat who would take all your secrets and sell them to the highest bidder. This is the kind of cat that you would be tempted to pet because you're weak for all cats and would then bite you finger. This is danger. We're in love.
