I always wonder about the extent to which the modern-day appearances of small wild felines have been affected by feral domestic cat populations from nearby human settlements. This is an African wildcat, the closest relative to modern domestic cats, still a separate and genetically distinct species... but they pretty much just look like regular cats. And with them having been interbreeding with feral domestic cats for millennia, I imagine they looked at least a little different before domestication occurred.
