They are significantly smaller than domestic cats, with a length of around 13 to 19 inches

They have short, round heads, short-rounded ears, and two white streaks by the inner sides of their eyes

Their coat is brown-grey with dark streaks and marks, and they have rusty-brown spots arranged in lines on their back

Like their larger relatives, they are expert hunters, preying on small rodents, birds, and insects

They are nocturnal, with large eyes that may be an adaptation to their nocturnal behaviour

They are semi-arboreal, meaning they hunt both in trees and on the ground
