Fishing cat (Felis viverrina)

Frankly talking, I am really bewitched by this strong, beautiful and wild cat.
Taking into consideration that all cats hate & afraid water – the Fishing (Asian) cat is only the one who hunt its prey right in the river.
Viverrina

Unbelievable, but this is cat

The fishing cat’s general distribution is southwest India, Sri Lanka, countries of the southern Himalayas, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, China, and the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. Including birds and snakes, the favourite it’s dish is obviously FISH.
That is why, Nature providently gave to this cat non-retractile claws and, to catch it’s dinner, fishing cat is even able to dive on the bottom of the river. But in spite of scrappers reputation they avoid to face the people.

Neet looking cat, and a fisher to boot, great asset. This cat reminds me of tigers also, look at the nose, the dots on the wiskers, the stripes, they are like miniature tigers!! Oh well…all cats are beautiful, but this one looks like it likes a little meat now and then…lol.
Great pictures, great cat….I have a dog that doesn’t like swimming and she is from the water dog group, so go figure.

It sure does look like a tiger. Thanks for your comment, on my site my dog is the black one in the middle of the header, her name is Whoopie, ( as in Goldberg) she is a Puli, which is a Hungarian Sheepdog, and part of the water dog family. She likes baths, and jumping in a lake but not in a swimming pool! She is a dear soul and my best buddy. Cheers to you and the cats, Teri

I think the cat is beautiful. I have a himalayan cat and a tortishell one @ the moment. I pray for the kindness of animals to be upon this earth today and forever. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Unfortunately the second picture that you have up on this, is of an Asiatic Golden cat, not a fishing cat.
Love the shots, but your second one is of Temmnick’s golden cat, or asiatic golden cat.
Just thought I’d let you know.
I love all the members of the cat family,..
Just came across this, and thought I’d let you know,…

For all of you who think you would like one as a pet…believe me you don’t. I work with one (at a zoo) and we raised him from two weeks old and I would never ever trust him in my house. They are still wild cats even if they are born in captivity. Also, something you might not think about, they have very oily coats to repel water and they leave that oil on everything. Wild cats do NOT make good pets and keeping them as pets (even if you buy a captive bred cat) only encourages people to take them out of the wild and hurts their chances for survival. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone but I am very passionate about this. And they are beautiful cats so I understand how looking at them you would fall in love.
