I bet some influencer is thinking right now "what if I had the world's most exclusive cat?"

Sand cat is in danger

There's probably 10 in Russian apartments already, next door to the ocelots.

given the concentrated nature of desert species' urine, I wonder how long that fad will last

The title deliberately makes it sound like people didn't know if the cat exists, but it's actually that they didn't know it was in Libya. It should be "...proved the sand cat's presence in Lybia" or something.
