Twitter Discovers The Tiny But Lethal Black-Footed Cat, Famously Known As 'The Regular A** Cat' From That One Meme

Have you ever looked at your cat when it's stalking a bird in the window and thought to yourself… "wow, you are a majestic hunter, no wonder you and lions come from the same family." Housecats just have that little something about them that reminds us where they come from, but… not every "housecat" that you see outside is actually a housecat. There are quite a few wild cats that look like harmless little house cats. There are the housecat-looking grumpy yet adorable Pallas' cats. There are the painfully awwdorable big-eared sand cats that look like housecats. We've even read a story about a bobcat kitten getting mistaken as a housecat and getting adopted.

But today, we are talking specifically about the black-footed cat. This kitty is literally the smallest wild cat in Africa, one of the smallest wild cats in the world, yet it also the deadliest. It has a 60% success rate in hunting - higher than even a lion's 20-25%. And today, twitter has discovered this smol handsome murderbaby.

Had we seen this little guys sauntering about outside, we would not have even thought twice before 'pspsps'ing it and trying to pet it. We have said this quite a few times in the past, but we will reiterate: the way that we will one day meet our doom will be by petting something that we absolutely should not have.

Okay, we are quite impressed by these creatures, but not by this particular fact. This pretty much sounds just like the life that our spoiled little housecat has. Eat more than it should, sleep all day long, hide leftovers in some random corner of the house so that nobody will dare touch what's theirs.
