    Snow Leopard

    Amur tiger
    Sumatran tiger
    Asiatic lion
    African lion
    Persian leopard
    Amur leopard
    Sunda clouded leopard
    Indochinese clouded leopard
    Sunda leopard cat (I've probably seen one of the Japanese leopard cat subspecies but I would not be able to remember as it would've been a long time ago)
    Fishing cat
    Pallas' cat
    Argentine cougar
    South African cheetah
    Jaguar
    Eurasian lynx
    Arabian Sand cat
    Ocelot
    Jaguarundi
    Domestic cat

    I would have liked to have been able to add Iberian Lynx to my list as I visited Selwo Aventura recently (as in less than 3 weeks ago), however the proper lynx enclosure with glass viewing and few hiding places was being renovated so the lynx were moved to their larger, natural, hilly enclosure meaning I could not spot it, even after 15 attempts.:mad:

    They are fairly common in the U.S. which is a good thing as they are so endangered. I pretty much see them most days in a week

    I have seen them in a few small zoos in Borneo - there was one in a crocodile farm and another in a Mini Zoo. I have also visited Lok Kawi and I am also pretty certain that they have a sunda clouded leopard/s.

    Wow I knew about Lok Kawi (Sunda clouded leopard) but I thought that was the only one. Were the other two a long time ago or recent? What were the enclosures like?

    If I remember correctly, @Vision has seen one at Taman Safari II ;). According to the pictures I've found on the web, it seems to be a dimly-lit exhibit for one individual but I can't tell more about it since I've never been to Taman Safari (nor have I ever seen a Sunda clouded leopard; even though I wish to :p ).

    No; as far as I am aware there are no members of this species outside the native range.

    I've seen almost exactly the same cat species as you have, "Dassie rat", although I have also been fortunate enough to see marbled cat and flat-headed cat too. Unfortunately, though, I only saw the latter species on one occasion and all I saw was a ball of fur, curled up in the corner of its cage; I never managed to get a good view of it.

    I imagine he saw the African Golden Cat back when Port Lympne and Howletts had the species; I believe the latter did not hold them for long, but the former held them until the late 1990s. He is a lucky bastard at any rate :p

    And you are a lucky bastard too Tim! :p

    Yes, I suspect you're correct. I've only ever seen African golden cat in Aspinall's collection so imagine the same is true for "Dassie rat".

    I was fortunate enough to see them many times at Port Lympne; I recall that one of the individuals there was very heavily spotted.
