black-footed kittens

They were sleeping in their log when we were there.
Yes very nice to have four species of truly small cat. Most people lump all the lesser cats into "small cats" including mid sized ones like servals and lynxes. I actually break them into three groups - small, medium, large (which I do in my monthly cat talk at Reid Park Zoo). What I call small cats are ones that are the same size as a house cat.

Most zoos that have a few so-called small cats actually include medium cats like ocelot and serval. It is very rare indeed for a US zoo to have four different species of truly small cats.
