	The African Golden Cat
		African golden cats are known to prey on poultry, rodents and small to medium sized forest ungulates as well as hyraxes, monkeys and birds.
		The little that is known of the golden cats biology and reproduction is gained from captive bred animals - the litter size is small, usually consisting of 1-2 young and are born after a gestation period of approximately 75 days.
		Golden cats apparently adapt well to logged areas, as destruction of the canopy favors the dense secondary undergrowth with which they are often associated (Kingdon 1977, Anstey 1991, S. Lahm in litt.

	African Golded Cat
		Although its name implies a golden coloured coat the golden cat is polymorphic - its base coat coloration varies extensively depending on its location -ranging from a golden/reddish brown to slate/silver grey.
		Most reports suggest that golden cat is a solitary and crepuscular hunter but sightings of a golden cat stalking the mainly diurnal fl-fronted duika in South West Uganda suggest that the cat may well be active during daylight hours in parts of its range.
		Small monkeys are also known to be taken by the cat which may suggest that although thought of as mainly terrestrial, the golden cat is also active in the lower branches of the forest canopy and can climb well.

		The primary habitat of the African golden cat is in the moist forest zone of Equatorial Africa.
		The African golden cat apparently adapts well to logged areas with a dense understory, probably because destruction of the canopy favors the dense secondary undergrowth with which this cat is often associated.

	The Cats (Family Felidae; Order Carnivora)
		Cats, with the notable exception of lions and to a lesser extent domestic cats, are habitually solitary, however they are sometimes are found in pairs (either m/m, f/f or m/f) or larger groups consisting of a single adult female and her immature young.
		Cats do not actually see in the dark, but they can see quite well in a light environment that appears dark to humans because of the physical limitations of our eyes, effectively their sight is 6 times better than ours under low-light conditions, albeit it is merely equal to ours in normal daylight.
		Cats produce species specific and individually specific odours from their anal sacs as well as from three special sets of scent glands; these are known as their facial (on the face), interdigital (between the toes) and subcaudal (beneath the tail) glands.

		It's strange you should mention the 'swamp cat' was not considered a threat by your local farmers...that is exactly the same thing the farmers around Banff told my colleague, when he asked if they had seen anything.
		I'm particularly interested in the possibility of Jungle cats being a contender for some of the sightings here as I read that there is a high proportion of fl jungle cats in Pakistan and Dundee had a long connection with that area due to the jute trade.

		Presence on the planet: African golden cats are found in central Africa up to 3,600 metres in high deciduous rain forest, alpine moorland, and along water courses extending into the drier more open areas.
		Habitat: The primary habitat of the golden cat appears to be the Tropical Rain Forest belt which traverses the African equator, however penetration into the adjoining tropical Dry Forests and Savannah scrub is also in evidence.
		IUCN status: The African golden cat has an IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) status of Insufficiently Known and due to its relatively restricted natural habitat must be considered at risk until more data is available as to its true population and distribution.

	Asiatic Golden Cat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Wozencraft, in his controversial1993 reassessment of cat taxonomy, considers Temminck’s golden cat to be in the genus Catopuma, along with the Bornean bay cat which is said to be an island version of Temminck’s cat (Wozencraft 1993).
		Fontainier’s cat is very heavily patterned in comparison to the other two subspecies and because of this it was regarded for a long time as a variety of the leopard cat.
		This may indicate that Temminck’s cats have a tendency to be sociable, and the male to stay with the female.
