The Leopard Cat

Under the section of "Wild Cats of Borneo Gallery" in the Cats Museum, Kuching, we are able to see these "preserved" animals and also its write-ups. This Leopard Cat is among one of the five species of wild cats which are supported in this tropical rainforests of Borneo. This Leopard Cat feeds on rats and insects.

All wild cats in Sarawak are protected by the Wildlife Protection Ordinance (1990). No one is allowed to hunt or kill or keep wild cats as pets without a valid license from the Forest Department as they become endangered and rare.
