Medium Sized cat species, Facts About Fishing Cats - National Zoo| FONZ

Description: Fishing cats range from about 25 pounds for males to about 15 pounds for females. Head and body length is 25 to 34 inches. These cats have a long, stocky body, relatively short legs, a broad head, round ears, and a short tail. Their olive-gray fur has black stripes and rows of black spots.

Diet: The fishing cat’s diet includes birds, small mammals, snakes, snails, and fish. The cat attracts fish by lighting tapping the water's surface with its paw, mimicking insect movements. Then, it dives into the water to catch the fish. It can also use its partially webbed paws to scoop fish, frogs, and other prey out of the water or swim underwater to prey on ducks and other aquatic birds. It is powerful enough to take large prey, such as calves and dogs.

Quick question, with such a diverse diet consisting of items like frogs and snakes etc that arn't 'normal' feeder items, what would a captive animal be fed to ensure that its dietary needs were met?

Hi Si,

Yes in a manner of speaking.

He is not 'cuddly' tame, but social to a degree.
