Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita)
Picture 7 of 9
The Andean cat lives in the high Andes mountains at around 3,500 to 4,800 metres above ground. With their thick, silver-grey coat, black ringed tail and white underside, they are similar in appearance to the snow leopard. As of 2002, the status of this species has been Endangered and there only around 2,500 mature individuals left in the wild, with a declining trend due to habitat and prey loss.

Flying Cat?
Not sure how the Andean cat can live “around 3,500 to 4,800 metres above ground”, maybe it is meant to be “sea level”….
