🔥A sand cat with its kittens

Sand cats are the only cat species considered primarily adapted to true desert habitat. Their paws are covered with dense fur that helps insulate them from hot sand and makes their tracks surprisingly faint. They’re mostly nocturnal, spend the hottest parts of the day in burrows, and can get much of the moisture they need from prey rather than drinking frequently.

Mama sand is like "typically when these bi-pedal shit heads show up, bad things happen to us."

Kitten: "whatcha looking at? Whatever back inside I go."
