That thing is 30% eyes, 70% sneaky prowl

So where's the fucking banana when we need it, imgur?
revivelocalmultiplayer
What is this? A cat for ants!?
saintsolaris
holy crap that thing is extra cute.
ifandonlyif
I honestly thought this was CGI 'til I saw the BBC logo.
Niccolo101
Still not entirely convinced it ain't.
DaliDagger
Without seeing it in a Gazelles mouth, it’s hard to tell how small it really is. KIDDING!! Lol
Treefur
A leaf! It's so small it had to jump over a leaf instead of just walking on it! That is way too adorable!
NotmynMonster
Imagine the leaves would be from an oak or something and the cat is just the size of an anchorn....
doggosandchocolate
It’s called a kitten you uncultured swine

We don’t gnaw on our kitty

I want you to know I lost my shit when I saw this.
BoyFromTheDwarf
I think it is technically the most deadly cat in the world, it has highest percentage of successful kill attempts.
MaggieB12
It’s so cute even birds want to hug it
BellowsOfWar
Actually it’s the other contender for worlds smallest cat the African Black-Footed Cat.
BoyFromTheDwarf
Dammit.
Beefyhaze
That's god damn adorable.
SansAandAnguS
This!
DreaminFree
It's like permanent kitten
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
Great. Now these will become the newest part of the exotic pets trade.
theitinerantnaturalist
Except they won’t. All the exotic mammal species kept have been kept for decades, nothing new has turned up.
theitinerantnaturalist
Fennec foxes, servals, and even the illegal loris trade was a thing since the 1980s.
theitinerantnaturalist
Media coverage talks about exotic pets as if new ones are entering the trade, but this isn’t the case. It’s the old ones becoming trendy.
BrockEffingSamson
Yep, every time I see this shared, I figure their survival chances go down.
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
:'(
theitinerantnaturalist
Except no cat species has entered the pet trade for decades (and that’s a good thing).
RocknRootRanchcuzallwegotisrocksandrootsandafewtrees
What about tigers, ligers, cheetahs and lions?
theitinerantnaturalist
People have been trying to keep these for centuries, with varying levels of success. For example cheetahs were kept since Ancient Egypt
EmdawgR
I want to see it kill
eastbayrae
If you look closely it killed 6 things before the end of that video.
afriendofmine
That’s so fucking hardcore.

... I like you.
minkuschild
Kill what? Its the size of a mouse. Im guessing a mantis would fight it off.
CyanideBreathMint
Killing a banana for scale,
justanothercarmechanic
I've seen a mantis fight off my 60lb Australian Shepherd
MatrimBloodyCauthon
No the cat will climb anything like Shadow of the Colossus and go to town, kitten win everytime
theitinerantnaturalist
It’s actually big enough to kill mouse, since it weighs around 3 pounds as an adult.
captbananapants
Small cats have the highest success rate in hunting. The smallest cat in africa has a 60% kill rate.
nolittleplans
From what I know about cats they always punch above there weight class.
theitinerantnaturalist
They can but the smaller cats usually eat things smaller than them.
dearbluey
Up to and including a VW beetle, probably.
Schitzoflink
Without a banana I have no idea how small this cat is.

Cute guy + cute cat = exponential cuteness

whats wrong with that banana i think it might be a bit ripe.

Can't compare, never seen this guy. How about a Forest Whitaker?
geiokami
That is a forest Whitaker, he’s clearly in a forest.
theitinerantnaturalist
That’s a black-footed cat which is second smallest
celestedrake
According to Wikipedia, a full grown one is about 1.56-2.38 bananas long, and 0.66-1.48 bananas tall. They weigh about 7.75 - 13.80 bananas.
ColonelCasual
Is that with or without the tail?
celestedrake
...Good question, and looking back at the wikipedia, I now realize it says 'tail' instead of 'tall'. So height is the needed measurement.(1)
celestedrake
It's not as accurate, but I estimate about a banana in height, slightly more if not crouching.
TheBricking
I appreciate the math you put into this

I have a similar success rate in the drive-thru.
