Tayra
A tayra can bound through trees on a long body with a tapered tail. A closer view usually shows a blunt, pale head contrasting with the darker coat. Its short ears and long muzzle make it easier to place as a mustelid than a cat.

Malayan civet
A Malayan civet has rows of dark spots across its body and rings toward the end of its tail. The pattern can recall a spotted cat at dusk, but the long muzzle and dark line along its back make the outline easier to place.

Owston's palm civet
Owston’s civet has dark bands and a small face, which can suggest a tabby when you see it from above. The bands cross a relatively low, long body. A pointed head and the markings around the neck are better guides in profile.

Western quoll
The western quoll, also called a chuditch, has a slim, low body and ears that can look feline when they face you. White spots cover much of its body but not the tail, which helps separate it from Australia’s spotted-tailed quoll.

Olinguito
An olinguito’s round face and wide eyes give a passing resemblance to a small cat. Its dense reddish coat and the way it moves through Andean cloud-forest branches give it away. It belongs to the raccoon family.

Red panda
From straight on, cheek markings and upright ears can bring to mind a small cat. A side view shows the thick, rust-colored ringed tail and furry feet. Red pandas are the only living animals in their family.

Large Indian civet
The large Indian civet’s prominent ears and heavy tail can look catlike for a moment. A raised dark ridge down the back, striking neck markings and a much longer muzzle make it easier to distinguish from a large house cat.
