probably not. they did a video on rescuing 5 smaller cats froma house in NY which were wild cats even though they were living with people. the thing about house cats is that they have been bred/domesticated to live with people like dogs have. but the wilder an animal is the more likely it will be to demonstrate or engage in (normal for them) behaviors that can be dangerous to humans......why would you want to deprive an animal of its normal wild home anyway just to satisfy your wants? its selfish and not cool, and its not good for the animal bc they will always be longing for the wild at some instinctual level

He's dead. The idiots here feed him chicken necks and their policy of two people who have separate keys killed him. He checked to death trying to round the bitches up.
Savannah Gallagher They are rare because of their beauty. Some people want to own or wear them when what our species is supposed to be doing is protecting them & their natural environments.
Mailana Priyo Lestariyanto 8 pounds is not overweight lol. Depends on the type of cat but I had a 23 pound cat that was overweight but he was a neutered male and I had a outside male tomcat and he was 17-18 pounds and was solid. He would disappear for a while then randomly show up on the porch to clean himself, drink some water and eat and then he’d disappear again with his hoes.🤣
For the health of the animals you probably shouldn't..the cats there already experienced enough abuse from humans, they don't need us forcing ourselves on them just because it benefits us. Secondarily if you loose a finger, they loose their life, is risking yourself and the cats life really worth the one potential pet? Laws in many states in the US require animals to be put down if they bite and it's much more strict with wild animals (such as these lovely big cats, if they hurt anyone BCR is required by law to put the cat down; it's why they're so cautious of these cats..it's for everyone's safety to not touch the kitties)
That's just adorable. And considering one of my cats is very large for a house cat (not fat, just BIG), it would be cute to see a side-by-side comparison.
cats usually like cute girls, but since this little one was a wild sand cat I think he'd have turned into something between chainsaw, blender and mass destruction weapon
I love Canyon. He has the cutest face. God bless BCR for making a wonderful home for Canyon and all the other cats, big and small. I understand they even help the local feral cat population near the sanctuary.
He's probably the meanest cat there. If you think about, all the other cats are bigger than him, so he would have to be the meanest to make up for size.
***** boys cant be sassy? Do you know the definition of sassy? sas·sy 1 (ss) adj. sas·si·er, sas·si·est 1. Rude and disrespectful; impudent. 2. Lively and spirited; jaunty. 3. Stylish; chic: a sassy little hat.
Such smol wildcats. The urge to pet of hug them is overwhelming 😅. I wonder if small wildcats would get along with the Big Cats??? Imagine seeing them just hanging out together!??
madomanc lol you consider a animal that can be killed a god. and no one can become a god you dumbass if you wish too believe that you are one than let me harm you because a god cannot be harmed and you suggest these animals as gods. their cannot be more than one god if their was this world would have been destroyed along time ago cause their being more than one god will bring corruption
This place is great! When my family was on vacation to Florida we went here. They are very educational and helpful to take care of mistreated animals. I highly suggest that you go if in Florida.
That IS really cool! Are you from Saudi Arabia? My country's national animal is the beaver. Still cool, but not quite as badass (they fell trees, but they don't punch snakes to death and survive on the body fluids of their prey)!
I hope people could tell the difference from Domestic Cats and....this adorable,fluffy,wild,....dangerous..Sand cat if they ever saw one prowling around 030
They probably never would, it is an endangered species that only lives in some parts of Africa and Saudi Arabia, with a count of only about 116 worldwide :) spread the awareness and save these amazing creatures
Incase you didn't hear the reasons sand cats are threatened in the video, i did not make it up, and they are highly endangered. Here is a link to the page about sand cats on the bigcatrescue website. Scroll dien until you she the heading "How rare is this cat?" And read. If you still think they are not endangered you are even more of an idiot than before bigcatrescue.org/sand-cat-facts/
If I passed this (awesome)cat in a park I would have thought it was a normal everyday house cat.....thanks for the eduaction, really impressive information!
Don't even think about it. Wild cats are WILD. They are entitled to their status. Never confuse them with house cats. They are litttle itty bitty BIG CATS. This is what Big Cat Rescue is all about. Respect the Killer in the Cat.
OMG SO CUTE I WANT ONE. But you are completely right. Big cats belong in the wild! Plus this little guy is endangered/vulnerable, isn't he? We should leave them alone. (except for places like Big Cat Rescue)
Pauline Dear Yes and at the end when he does that spit/hiss where the caption thank you and you get a shot of his which are larger than a domestic cat, would you really want your hand/forearm caught between his upper and lower jaws?! I sure as heck do not. !!
But 'house' cats are wild as well. They catch birds, lizards insects etc. Only reason why house cats generally live in homes because they are born and/or raised at the vet or someone's home.
Sand cat always got that “whatever” face on lol
Actually ever cat has that🤣
My Cat has that expression most of the time lol.
Lol
more like "if i was bigger than you i could kill you for fun" face.
Seems like he loves to explore
He's a big cat! he's just small boned!
We love that!!
Big Cat Rescue Is it okay to own a Sand Cat?
probably not. they did a video on rescuing 5 smaller cats froma house in NY which were wild cats even though they were living with people. the thing about house cats is that they have been bred/domesticated to live with people like dogs have. but the wilder an animal is the more likely it will be to demonstrate or engage in (normal for them) behaviors that can be dangerous to humans......why would you want to deprive an animal of its normal wild home anyway just to satisfy your wants? its selfish and not cool, and its not good for the animal bc they will always be longing for the wild at some instinctual level
We never think is ok to own a wild cat. Wild animals deserve and belong in the wild.
I have a question, are sand cats like camels? do they have the eye thingy?
the guy and girl talking reminds me of when me and my classmates do presentations in high school lol
Lol
haha I was thinking the same thing, I love it
is she hot?
I got this feeling as well.

He is probably wild but he wait for food with perfect table manner 😂😂😂
*He IS a wild animal. 😊*
omg look at his face! oooohhhh it's soooo cute!
he looks so fluffy , I love his eyes 😍
diy & tutorials yea he looks cute but Believe me he's so wild cat I saw him killed a snake so easily.. these animals kinda rare
you have to pay to get good stuff, and to get to touch a sand cat you have to pay with your hand being torn to rags
Ishzark Klyon That is for darn sure!
Cute but cyaon is dead
"using the body fluids from their prey to survive."damn thats savage

True look it up that's what cats do to snakes they whack them in the head until they are too dazed to fight back.
House cats do the same .. they learned from your mother
Not sure why that freaks you out, but you ARE aware that cats eat meat, right?
Yeah house cats do it too
I had never seen a wild cat that looks so much like a domestic cat! So cute~ But it sounds so vicious and cool too!

Sand cats are like the Cat version of Fennec Foxes. Who else agrees? :P
Yeah!

Sand cats are usually half the size of domestic cats.
That's just adorable. And considering one of my cats is very large for a house cat (not fat, just BIG), it would be cute to see a side-by-side comparison.
+Big Cat Rescue Can they be domesticated? I would never do that to one, just curious.
Pet? No. Cute as a button? Hells yeah.
No
It's amazing that a cute smol golden kitty cat has evolved to not need a lot of water to survive. That's a true desert cat!
Canyon is super cutee!! i wanna cuddle with him but i don't think it's a good idea but even so, i still want to!
But is so sad that he's dead since almost 2 years ago... sorry for tell you this bad news

This proves one of the 50 reasons I'll die in the desert.
Rusty is a very dignified old gent and a true favorite of mine, too.
You are the most beautiful cat I have ever seen Canyon....I love you so much..
He unfortunately passed away now:(((
Rajani Nag they all look the same..stop lying
He passed away.. probably after he read your comment
"What he lacks in size, he makes up for in attitude."

...Definitely CAN RELATE TO THAT 😅
I've seen these smaller cats in a couple of videos. They are sooooo cute. I wanna cuddle them, but would likely lose my face for it XD
How could people hurt these cute cats? Some people really want the earth to be destroyed... -_-'
Give me the cute cat and nobody gets hurt . . . well, I'll probably get hurt. Life's about taking chances, though.
