message: Hi ! I'm a contributor of the French Wikipedia and I'm trying to improve the french version of Black-footed cat which is based on this article, and I'm searching references for this sentence : "Specimens with characteristics of both subspecies are found close to Kimberley, central South Africa, where these distinctions break down." Please contact me if you have it, Abujoy  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.135.202.91 (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference 

message: There is some confusion about the body length of this cat. Some sources say it is up to 63 cm. (about 2 feet) in length _excluding the tail_, which seems large given it weighs only up to 2 kg or about 4 pounds. (A housecat with a 2ft body might weigh 14 pounds.) This wikipedia article doesn't say whether the 63 cm figure includes the tail or not. Could somebody check and clarify? Thanks!

message: The word resident appears three times, and its meaning is not obvious.  Does it mean a cat that has successfully claimed a territory, in contrast to a nomad? —Tamfang (talk) 01:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

message: "This exaggeration is intended to emphasize the bravery and tenacity of the animal. The only times this behavior differs is when ... they are a female with dependent kittens."
Leaving aside the questionable grammar: Why would a behavior of bravery and tenacity differ in a female with kittens, of all things? The females of most animals are most fierce and brave when they have their young with them. Why would that be different here?
Or is this sentence talking about the tender loving care mommy gives to her kittens? It should say so then.
Another thing that makes me wonder are the threats listed in the article:  bushmeat poaching, persecution, traffic accidents, predation by domestic animals, indiscriminate predator poisoning etc..
One threat I was surprised not to find is crossbreeding with house cats or feral cats, which, to the best of my knowledge, poses a great threat to many wild cat species. Is that in fact not a problem for this cat? Or is that just not in the article due to a lack of sources? --93.212.237.194 (talk) 18:05, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Does the name- small spotted cat has any ref to back it up? South American cat- Oncilla has a similar nickname- little spotted cat. If both are confirmed then maybe use the "not to be confused with" tag at the top of both the pages? Ishan87 (talk) 22:06, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The alternative name has been bolded because a redirect page with that name was created in 2014. This name does have a ref, but a rather old one more than 2 decades old. This name was foremost used in zoos, but people working in the field have been unilaterally using the name black-footed cat since at least the 90s. – BhagyaMani (talk) 07:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
