Catopuma
A golden cat is a medium-sized wild cat, that belongs either to the genus Catopuma or Profelis. There are three species of golden cats:
All golden cats inhabit rainforests and hunt on the ground. The colour of their fur is normally reddish brown or golden brown, although there are several other colour variants; anyhow, according to recent studies the African species is not closely related to the two Asian species; the similarity appears to be just a result of convergent evolution.
