American mountain cat

The American mountain cat (Leopardus montanus) is a species of wild cat that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and mountainous regions across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the American mountain cat is the pampas cat (Leopardus colocola) of South America. The American mountain cat is a little bigger than a domestic cat and has a bushier tail. Its size varies between regions, ranging in body length from 46 to 75 centimeters (18 to 30 inches) with a 23–29 centimeter (9.1–11.4 inch) long tail. Six variants of its pelage occur, but all have two dark lines on the cheeks: (Type 1) Reddish or dark grey with rusty-cinnamon stripes on the flanks, (type 2) flanks with large reddish-brown or rosette-shaped spots with darker borders, (type 3) paler version of type 2, (type 4) fur is overall greyish with distinct dark brown stripes on the legs and spots on the underparts, (type 5) almost entirely rusty-brown with faint spots and an unbanded tail with a prominent black tip, and all-black feet, and (type 6) is similar to type 5 except its background color is paler and more yellowish. The American mountain cat is entirely carnivorous and preys mainly on small mammals and birds, although it is known to feed on lizards. Unlike most small wild cats and like the closely related pampas cat, the American mountain cat is mainly diurnal. Litters are relatively small, usually consisting of only one or two kittens, and occasionally three. The kittens weigh around 130 grams (4.6 oz) at birth. The average lifespan is 16 years, but some in captivity have lived for over 20 years. The conservation status of the American mountain cat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American mountain cat's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
