The cutest thing about sand cat kittens is their ears are bigger than their heads! My sister said they are like the feline equivalent of Fennec foxes.

I've never heard of this species before. It's quite sad that many animals are threatened to extinction. I hope there will be more of these adorable furballs! ^^
