Step into the world of our fishing cats and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures.
The fishing cat is a “small” cat of medium size and stocky build, with short legs, a short tail, and a face that is round but elongated.
Fishing cats communicate with guttural growls, hisses, and a low, demanding meow. During courtship, they make a sound that is called chittering.
Fishing cats are solitary and largely territorial animals, living by themselves and only coming together to find a mate. The territory of a male typically overlaps those of a number of females within the area.
