	Leopard Cat
		Broadly speaking the leopard cat is a little larger than a big domestic cat and has a base fur colour that ranges from yellow/brown to grey/brown, found mostly in the north of its range.
		In varying intensity, depending on the sub-species the leopard cat is covered with medium to large dark brown to fl spots which often coalesce into solid stripes on the top of the back and thin stripe markings on the top and side of the head.
		Again, due to the extended range of the leopard cat, the types of habitat in which the cat is found are difficult to classify.
