We have a brand new cat! For the first time in over 100 years scientists have discovered a new species, and the most amazing thing is that it was a tiger cat who had been found as a kitten on the side of the road. In the same research, scientists also found evidence to elevate 2 other subspecies to full species. So check out this kitty galore as we dive into the brand new world of tiger cats.
