Their large, pointy ears, tipped with black tufted fur have over 20 muscles that allow their ears to swivel around like satellite dishes to detect prey more precisely. They are the largest of the small cats, with females weighing 13-35 lbs and males 18-44 lbs. on average they are 24-42 inches in size. You can see Dutchess the carac
