The Gliding Cat is about the same size as a normal pet cat and can be a smokey gray colour or tabby .
It also has flaps of skin which it uses to glide. It has retractable claws so it can climb very well. It has a very long tail to balance while gliding.
In the winter its fur turns white to blend in with snow. It lives in the rocky mountains of North America. It makes nests in small gaps between rocks with grass and leaves.
Its diet includes : marmots, lemmings, rodents and anything it can fit in its mouth. Its predators are pumas, lynx and wolves.
It breeds once a year and has from one to five kittens in a litter, which measure about 5 cm at birth. The gliding cat is rare because of logging and its predators.
