Since it's both #GingerCatAppreciationDay and #FelidFriday, I thought I'd share the ginger cats I have known and loved. Simba is still with us, the other two have sadly passed on (James was a childhood pet).

#FelidFriday The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus), native to Asia. As its name suggests, it's fond of water and commonly eats fish. This is a captive one, photographed at Exmoor Zoo.

#FelidFriday The jaguar, third largest of the cats after the tiger and lion. A magnificent and powerful predator ... with a cute little tongue. :)

#FelidFriday The jungle cat (Felis chaus), found in Asia and the Middle East. This photo is so old I can't actually remember where/when I took it (it was taken on ACTUAL FILM and scanned into the computer).

#FelidFriday DID YOU KNOW? The "black panther" is not a species of its own. It's just a term used for melanistic leopards and jaguars (though it originally only applied to black leopards). This is a black jaguar from Chester Zoo.

The male lion is the only felid with a mane. It serves to make him look bigger and more intimidating to other males, and more attractive to females.

For #FelidFriday this week, the Eurasian lynx. We once had this beautiful animal right here in the UK, but it is now extinct here thanks to human actions. :(

This #FelidFriday, one of my favourite cats, the clouded leopard. It has the longest canines of any cat in relation to body size.
