The African Wild Cat is similar in appearance to the domestic tabby cat but is slightly larger, being around 90cm in length, 35cm high at the shoulder, and weighing between 4 and 5 Kg.
The wild cat is a good climber, and when in danger will often escape up a tree. They make similar sounds to domestic cats - purring, hissing, spitting and mewing. Dens are made in areas of cover such as rocky areas or thickets.
The African Wild Cat is generally solitary except when mating, or when the female is raising kittens. Both males and females establish territories which they mark and defend.
Wild cats are mainly nocturnal and crepuscular (i.e. they are active at night and around dawn and dusk).
Wild Cats prey on small mammals such as rodents (e.g. Rats or mice), hyraxes, hares, and the young of small antelopes, as well as birds and sometimes invertebrates and reptiles. African Wild Cats will sometimes come into conflict with farmers by taking lambs and poultry.
