While the Iriomote Cat is a deadly predator, humans are not typically on the menu for this small feline. Instead they prefer to feed on rodents, birds, bats, small reptiles, insects, frogs, and of course a cat’s favourite meal, lasagne. Oh wait! That was only Garfield’s favourite dish…most cats love to eat fish and this species is no exception. In fact, the Iriomote Cat is an excellent swimmer and will head to the water on a regular basis. Since the Iriomote Cat is partially arboreal, they can often be found hanging out high above the ground amongst the sub-tropical canopy. With their climbing and swimming capabilities, no place is safe for their tasty prey.<\/p>\n
