Since you're here, you're likely a cat person. If you're not, you're just going to have to deal with the awesomeness of cats.
Meet the mysterious and impossibly hard-to-find "sand cat."
Other than always looking like kittens, sand cats actually have a bunch of cool characteristics that make them super awesome.
Stealth, however, is their strong suit. The pads on their paws are made to prevent leaving tracks in the sand and they're extremely small.
In 10 years, no one has captured a photo of one in the wild... Until now.
A team set out some chicken and fish cat food, as well as setting up A BUNCH of cameras. Luckily, they caught a few cameras multiple times between midnight and 6 a.m.
The reason they were to such great lengths to capture some on camera was to figure out how they live.
The ones in captivity tend to die off due to respiratory illnesses.
And let's be honest here, pictures of cute cats are always worth it.
