This book is talking about a ringtail. This animal is not a cat, it is more closely related to racoons. This animal is a omnivore, it eats bugs smaller animals and all sorts of plants. They are pretty tiny but they love food. They don't live in packs. They got their name due to their tail which has white rings on it. Their average life span is 7-9 years.

I found this book cool. It was fascinated by the fact whiskers can surround eyes and feet also. They are unique animals. I picked this book up because it said "miners cat". It was still worth reading. I was devastated when it mentioned that people hunt them for their fur. Overall this animal was very interesting.
