The Kodkod, or Guigna is another tiny cute wild cat species. In Santiago, Chile, where they can be found there is a conservation effort using injured and orphaned Kodkods to start a captive breeding program. These cats will eventually be re-released into the wild as they are strong and sound enough.
There aren’t many left!

[…] Oncilla has a beautiful coat, and unfortunately, they are still being killed for them. Unlike the Kodkod, they are able to adapt to living around coffee plantations, this might keep them from perishing […]
You’ve perfectly captured the tentative, testing-the-air attitude of a cat coming out of hiding. Nicely done!
Your Kodkod painting is to die for! NGO had a segment on one of it’s programs about the cat. I fell in love with the kitty (er, I’m a cat person, lol)
Such a beautiful cat! Thank you for sharing your talent.
I love it! I’m an artist too, but I haven’t done nearly enough yet with watercolor. I love your style though. Colorful and cheery.
Very cute painting!
