Cute cat alert! The oncilla is a wild cat from South America. It has some legal protection from hunting in certain countries, but it is still being killed in large numbers for its lovely fur. The males don’t get over 6 lbs, so these are small felines! In researching the oncilla I came across the rusty-spotted cat which is even tinier. It makes its home in Central to Southern India and Sri Lanka. Both are significantly smaller than our “big-boned” domestic house cat who now weighs in at a pudgy 15 lbs.
