The Bay Cat (Pardofelis badia, other genus names in use are Felis, Profelis, Catopuma or Badiofelis) is also known as Bornean Cat, Bornean Red Cat or Bornean Bay Cat, since it is endemic to the island of Borneo.

There is not much known about the Bay Cat due to its rarity. Until 1998, live specimens of this species had not even been caught on camera.

Appearance
The Bay Cat's fur is usually reddish brown, but there is also a grey colour variant. While molecular analyses reveal it to be related to the Asian Golden Cat, it has a different skull structure and is much smaller. The Bay Cat has a length of 55 cm (22 in), plus a 35 cm (14 in) tail. The weight is only about 2.3 to 4.5 kg (5 to 10 lbs).

Diet
This wild cat hunts at night for birds and rodents, and allegedly for monkeys.

Habitat
The Bay Cat is a dweller of dense rainforests and rocky outcroppings.
