PHUKET:-- Wildlife officials released a leopard cat into the wild near Bang Pae Waterfall in central Phuket yesterday (Dec 21) after the feline was rescued from a dog attack.

 

Local resident Jindarat Radchawongsa reported that her sister first saw the leopard cat while driving home on Nov 30, explained Piyawat Sukont, Chief of the Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Non-Hunting Area in Thalang.

 

“The sister saw a cat being attacked by a dog at Phanason Kathu Village, and called a rescue foundation to safely recover the cat,” he told The Phuket News.

 

The woman had no idea that the cat was a wildcat indigenous to the region, as it is no larger than a regular domesticated feline, Chief Piyawat explained.

A lovely little animal, but I'm sure I saw one for sale in Theppersit market Pattaya a few yrs ago. It woz selling for 7000 baht. I wish I had rescued it now.
