 I recently learned about sand cats, and they are such fascinating beings. The fact that cats love sand means they basically play all day. 😂

 It almost looks like an animal that was domesticated and then found its way back into the wild?! :D i wonder if the ears have some special use because they’re so big and fluffy! 
And they have their toilet everywhere lol
On playgrounds, sand boxes are a welcoming toilet for cats. 😂

 Yeah, it turns out they are expert hunters. They kill snakes and other animals like that. They have a very sophisticated ear, and their reaction speed is faster than snakes, so snakes can't even bite them. https://image.nostr.build/65c5a9e7727ea9c0de8d7349059167c9b14b7d885ceae5c475cc367ac4db9730.jpg

 There are a couple of Sand Cats at the Zoo in DC. Cutest creatures on our beautiful blue ball. 

They definitely fit the “Why not friend, if friend like”
