I love cats, big..small..white..black..tabby you name it.
But my ultimate number one favorite is this:
SNOW LEOPARD
Weighing usually 35 kilograms (77 lb) to 55 kilograms (121 lb)the snow leopard is slightly smaller on average than a leopard. Exceptionally large males can weigh up to 75 kilograms (165 lb), very small females weigh only 25 kilograms (55 lb). The head and body length is 39–51 in (99–130 cm), the shoulder height is about 60 cm (24 in). The tail measures 32–39 in (81–99 cm) and is proportionately longer than in any other cat species of comparable size. It helps to maintain its balance on the rugged terrain and unstable surfaces of its habitat and is used to cover its nose and mouth in very cold conditions. The head of the snow leopard is relatively small, however the male's head is usually much squarer and wider than that of the female. The big furry feet act as snowshoes, like those of the lynxes. The snow leopard has gray-and-white thick fur with numerous rosettes on the flanks and spots on the head and neck.
