  I think for once this is actually a cat and not a viverrid? The odd stubby tail is confusing me when it comes to giving it an ID, though.

  Yes, Quia . I also find it to be a cat . This is very different from a viverrid

  Yes indeed, I got confirmation from a golden cat expert that this does appear to be one. 😃

  Nice! We've seen so few true cats, other than leopards.

  Somehow it is heartwarming to me that "golden cat expert" is a thing that exists. 😄
