| A Leopard Cat (_felis bengalensis_ Kerr) in captivity | |
| 1962 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (59): 641-643 | |
Of all the wild cats in Asia, the Leopard Cat (Felis bengalensis Kerr) is believed to be the most intractable and difficult to tame. My personal experience confirms this, and the four which I have kept at various times remained extremely wild. It is therefore all the more surprising to hear of the very pleasant experience of a tea planter couple of north Bengal, Mr. Keppie and his wife, who found a young leopard cat to be a very tame and lovable creature. |
