Mating season is twice a year, between February and March, and September to October. Often, females do produce two litters a year. Fighting between males increases around breeding season. After a gestation period of two months, the female gives birth to 1-4 kittens in a den, which could be a hollow tree or rocky hole. They also get caught in traps meant for other animals.
Poisonous snakes take their toll as well.
Part of their habitat has been declared a national park, and a feeding and monitoring program has been set up to help the cats.
