It's Leopardus tilcayo aka 'tilcayo tiger cat' and it's very cute. Wikipedia doesn't have a page dedicated to it yet.

Looks like a house cat, I am betting it's a matter of months before someone starts selling the crossbreds, like they do with Bengal.

Also, they're only 3-4 lbs!

All the wildcats (which basically include domestic cats) are very closely related based on my understanding. Even the whole box thing is related to a lot of wildcats having a liking for caves.

Let's see if it (or crossbreeds) can be tamed.

This particular one was actually being kept in a house because someone confused it for a "pretty housecat". After a while, the owner realized it didn't want to be tamed and contacted someone for help.

Also, it's the only known one in existence. Hard to start a breeding program unless they find more.

Positively tiny. Really makes you wonder what else is still out there.

Also an amusing disjoint between it being called "tiger" cat but having leopard spots. At least the latin name is more on point.

coalbin•6h ago
Since this cat is Bolivian, they would be jaguar spots, rather than leopard ones.

The conquistadors referred to the jaguars as "tigers" - they certainly aren't lions - and that custom stuck around for long enough for this to become a tiger cat!

caymanjim•10m ago
To add to the confusion, the genus is Leopardus. And leopards and jaguars are both Panthera.

What is the big deal? We discover new species of dog every few months (it is not a "pitbull", but american mini fox bully!)

The same with cats. They can cross breed and only differ in color and spots on fur!

JohnMakin•30m ago
I think you’re confusing species with genetic variation within a species.
bebeirjd848r•11m ago
Bull and fox are obviosly different species! Just because you cross bread them does not invalidate their heretiage!
