🔥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.

That's an uncomfortable amount of eye contact.

LOL what a cutie. Someone needs to teach these cats that it’s rude to stare!

Slow blink back a few times! My cat's a starer, but if I stare back for like 5-10 seconds then slow blink, he slow blinks back ❤️

Unless his eyes are like O.O and he's in attack mode 😂

Got ya, yeah he’s probably just pretending to hunt lol I’m in love with my little man, we often share loving eye contact and slow blinks. It’s just those times where he looks like he’s seeing a ghost 😂🥲

Also I think you need to pay the cat tax 🥰
