A golden cat is a medium-sized wild cat belonging to either the genus Catopuma or Profelis. There are three species of golden cats:
- African Golden Cat, Profelis aurata
- Asiatic Golden Cat, Catopuma temminckii
- Bay Cat, Catopuma badia
Golden cats inhabit rainforests and hunt on the ground. Their fur color is normally reddish brown or golden brown, although there are several color variants. According to recent studies the African species is not closely related to the two Asian species; the similarity appears to be a result of convergent evolution.de:Goldkatze fr:Catopuma nl:Catopuma
