Here’s an adult kitty for size comparison:
too smoll
OK but you can’t mention my all-time favorite cat without also mentioning that these little motherfuckers are legendary for being 1000% ready to throw down with anyone at any time, they’ve literally been seen trying to fight a giraffe and are known to successfully bring down sheep by getting underneath them and ripping their bellies open like what the fuck, chill
Their name in Afrikaans means “anthill tiger” because they’ll hide inside a hollowed out anthill and then jump out and try to rip your face off
They are perfect and I love them
Aw, look at these little murder muffins.
smallestand deadliest wild cat. Observed at a 60% success rate in hunting, and averaging a kill every fifty minutes—a lion might succeed in hunting twenty, twenty-five percent of the time. Their small, energetic bodies require a rate of a-murder-per-hour in order to sustain their metabolisms.

[Image Description: Three digital drawings of Aang from Avatar: the Last Airbender. The one in the top left shows Aang, a pale-skinned boy with a blue arrow on his forehead, cradling Momo, a gray and white lemur, close to his chest. Both of their eyes are closed and there are two hearts drawn by each of their faces. The one in the top right shows Aang with a pink flower crown upon his forehead, beaming widely. The one at the bottom shows Aang putting his arms on Appa, his white sky bison. Appa has a blush on his cheeks and there is a heart in front of his face. End Image Description.]
