The Margay is a solitary wildcat with some very unique characteristics. Its look alone make it stand-out although it is very solitary people rarely have the chance to see it. The Margay is one of the few animals in the world that can climb trees with their heads facing down, thanks to their very special joints, able to turn up to 180 degrees.
The Margay is on the endangered animals list, but no one really knows how large their population really is between Mexico and Argentina.Margays don’t take well to humans invading their habitats and sacientists say they are so well adapted to life in trees that they can go their entire lives without touching the ground.
Like all cats, Margay see very well at night and have no problem feeding of birds, reptiles and squirrels, if they can catch them.
Edit: Guys I apologize for the grammar and spelling mistakes but I only do this as a hobby and most of the time I write and post the photos in a hurry. Hope you understand and thanks for stopping by. I posted a link to where I found the photos, it’s a Russian photo site, but I doubt they can take credit for them.

Shame there is not 1 picture showing this. Did like the photos though.

Interesting subject, and wonderful pics, but no credit for the pics which look professionally done, and the rampant grammar and spelling mistakes make what could have been a great article absolutely painful to read. Have someone with more developed English skills proofread your copy before posting.

These are some beautiful cats. I love the big paws and the expression they have.
November 21, 2008
Oh Bill, get over it! I could read it just fine!
November 21, 2008
The spelling wasn’t that bad, there’s far worse online. It’s just the internet, stop taking it too seriously. Stop being an arse. I found this very nice and informative, Thanks Spooky.

Perhaps I *do* take it a bit too seriously at times, but I’ve watched over the years since the inception of the Internet and, later, Text Messaging, as spelling and grammar have taken a nose dive. Being able to effectively communicate ideas is the cornerstone of any advanced civilization, and our growing unconcern for it, and defense of those who do not have the skill deeply concerns me. Recently, grievous errors of this nature have become more commonplace in mainstream print (I’ve seen 3rd grade level errors in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal lately) as well, so it’s no longer ‘just the Internet’ anymore. For an educated person, reading a block of text that breaks dozens of rules hammered into us by teachers and professors *is* painful. However, as said, the article *is* interesting. After all, I liked it enough to take the time to comment, as well as return later. Those felines are adorable…in an inherently evil sort of way, no?
Remember.. knowledge is power.
November 21, 2008
I notice that most of the mistakes have been fixed, too.
November 22, 2008
Beautiful cats! Don’t attack others for their mistakes.
November 22, 2008
Just be thankful it wasn’t written in text spell, you wouldn’t have got passed the first consonent!
Great pictures, and a well thought out site!
November 22, 2008
Don’t worry Bill - the spelling and grammar mistakes drive me batty too. Glad to see most of them were corrected.
November 22, 2008
ur a cunt
I used the improper grammar simply to annoy you. Pull the stick out of your ass.
November 22, 2008
beautiful animal!
November 23, 2008
It’s very cute! But I bet it can also be very vicious!
November 23, 2008
Well, I would like to give credit where it’s due for at least some of the pictures. Numbers 7, 8, and 9 are all of Julian, one of the three Margays that I cleaned the cages of at the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound in Rosemond, CA. He is indeed, a very handsome example of a Margay. The Compounds website is: http://www.cathouse-fcc.org/

I stumbled on this website with stumbleupon, and I love it! they look like amazing animals, and I am definitely showing my mum.
P.S. Don’t worry about the grammar, I don’t think people would comment if you hadn’t pointed it out. At least you know that it’s a problem.
P.P.S. Sorry if that sounded accusing it wasn’t meant to!
November 23, 2008
God damn it you are a tool, Bill. and obviously a virgin as well
November 23, 2008
Seriously, Bill, you are making yourself out to be an ignorant, pretentious yuppie.
November 23, 2008
Bill, for the love of Christ and Buddha, lighten up. The is the internetz d00d. Picking apart grammzors and spellingz mistakes? Get a life. This was an intersting article so just appreciate it for that.
Also, I would like to point out your improper use of an ellipsis at the end of your last past… jackass.
November 23, 2008
Reading that made me want to go through the article and mark it up with one of my teacher’s little red pens. Grammar Nazi to the rescue!
What I’m confused about is if she had the time to go back and put in the edit, why couldn’t she have corrected some of the more obvious spelling and grammar mistakes? Or has that already happened and I missed it?
November 23, 2008
The are the most beautiful photos I have seen in my entire life. thx for sharing them with all of us
November 23, 2008
bill y dnt u shut up n stop bein a prick :-p.
Its a shame you couldnt brake your reply down in to a few paragraphs.
Talk about painfull reading.
Nice article spooky
thanks
November 23, 2008
lets all laff at Bill.
November 24, 2008
This is great!
November 24, 2008
Bill is a fucking awesome troll.
Cute kitty!
November 24, 2008
You’re a fucking idiot, Bill. English isn’t everyone’s strong point, just like maths. Let me criticize you on your weak-point.
Get over it, asshole.
November 24, 2008
I agree, Bill. You’re my hero.
November 24, 2008
I love cats of all shapes and sizes myself, and stumbled upon this site. I also had an amazing idea after seeing these phenomenol images of these cats. In ancient Egypt, there was what is known as the eye of Ra. Many of these images show heavy black lines in just that shape around these cats eyes. Knowing as well that Egyptians saw cats as sacred, it isn’t a far leap from there to painting their own eyes with kohl to achieve this look. Whether they are actually connected or not, I’m not sure, but definitely was a cool thought to have. Great images, thanks for the article on the margays!
November 26, 2008
Knowledge is power huh?
And ignorance is bliss and you must be sitting pretty Billy boy.
Cuz thiss aint grammer schuell no more
November 26, 2008
Absolutely fantastic animal.
Staggeringly beautiful.
November 27, 2008
Who cares about the spelling or grammar!!!! It’s the pics that count. After all a picture is worth a thousand words.
November 27, 2008
Really good pictures. Some rather crude comments.
November 27, 2008
This is an awesome cat. I want to pet this kitty. I just hope he’s nice.
November 29, 2008
You should go to a spelling bee instead of looking at pictures of this beautiful cat, and i bet you have never done anything wrong.
November 29, 2008
My wife is in love with these cats. She is going to love these pictures. Thanks for posting!

“maths”……
Good Lord. What has this world come to?
November 30, 2008
I will never understand why people open them selves up for ugliness by asking for comments?
December 1, 2008
bill your an ashole
December 1, 2008
Bill U.R. retarded.
The concept that you stole is worth more than your life.
I was first introduced to it whilst playing Mortal Kombat III.
Does the K bother you bill? KOMBAT When it comes to the English language gheti =fish.
‘gh’ as in ‘laugh’
+
‘e’ as in ‘women’
+
‘ti’ as in ’station’.
‘gh’+'e’+'ti’ = gheti = ‘fish’
Literacy in English is in itself condemned.
December 2, 2008
Let’s feed Bill to the Margays! Here kitty kitty!
December 2, 2008
it’s GHOTI=fish…
December 3, 2008

December 3, 2008
Comments = lawl
Great pics/article, though.
December 3, 2008
dude, it’s just an internet article. chillout….just look at the pretty kitty and relax…
December 6, 2008
Well wait for it….i have crap grammer and spelling! It looks like hes a pet wild cat. Bella! As for the comments people have made i think it makes the site even better, what a laugh! we love getting out knicker in a twist, Fantastic. One thing i find about words is that the puzzle of it all can be figured out. If you focus to much on perfection you can lose the imagination. P E A C E
December 8, 2008
my friend and i think you (margay (preferably the second one to the bottom)) are very cute and i hope somebody gives you this message. have a purrrfect day.
December 15, 2008
Looks related to the Clouded Leopard?? (which is also endangered and can climb up and down trees like that. Their joints are awesome :3)
Lovely pictures <3
December 17, 2008

I´ve never seen bevore a cat which was so beautiful !
Plz give me a request
Thx and greets
January 13, 2009
Seriously, BILL…chill the fuck out.
get over yourself.
its just a mistake.
get off your boyfriends dick and chill the fuck out.
January 24, 2009
Hi Bill,
I think you were really mean to whoever wrote this because they said sorry and you were like really mean…
January 28, 2009
Bill, the language is just changing. Not our fault if you can’t deal with change. Old people are always bitching about how the younger generations live. Keep talking like that and teenagers will want to rebel more. It’ll just get worse. Also, you’ll end up with your head exploding.
liek chillax luv, wud yaa.
January 29, 2009
bill, it is obvious that not many here like you. i counted only a few supporters in all of those comments.
as stated, english is changing. i don’t get mad at you for not speaking in perfect middle english or old english. afterall, that is how english was “made” to be.
you are an arrogant asshole, and you will die off soon enough to not see english evolve past the point where you cannot understand it at all.
February 4, 2009
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS BABIES I HAVE EVEN SEEN….I WANT ONE =)
February 9, 2009
brb school
February 25, 2009
Just wanted to say that I agree with Bill. Some traditions are worth treasuring, and the sooner the younger generation realizes this, the happier they will be. Us “old” people (I’m 27) remember a day when you actually had to dial a phone and have an auditory conversation in complete sentences to make yourself understood. Pretty soon we’ll just be grunting at each other…sigh…the days of Shakespeare are tragically gone, I’m afraid.
Cute pussy, btw
March 29, 2009
Neat cat. But describing it as a “Tiger Cat” seems absurd as it looks more like a cheetah.
May 9, 2009
Oh dear, Bill. You make some cogent points but spoil it all with a split infinitive. Eheu!
