This is the Fishing Cat. Probably the most badass fisher of all kitties. Like the Manual it's range is also Central Asia. While most felines are wary of water it is well adapted to swimming and hunting in water. While it does eat rodents and other small terrestrial animals, it will sit at the edge of a bank and fish for its food like a bear does for salmon. This is probably why modern day domestic cats developed their love of fish (probably not). They are listed as a vulnerable species, like the manual for its fur, because of exploitation and conversion to agrarian land of it watery habitat.
And now what you really want: pictures
No these are not mine and I don't know how easy or hard they are to keep as pets. But my 5 pound domestic kicks my ass all the time and these get up to 25 pounds. So, while they are adorable be wary about trying to bring home home.
