The advantages and disadvantages are the pros and cons of a certain topic, that each person considers thoroughly before making a bigger decision.
Height
: 25 cm (Adult, At Shoulder)
Lifespan
: 10 years (In captivity)
Scientific name
: Felis nigripes
Trophic level
: Carnivorous
Mass
: Male: 1.9 kg (Adult), Female: 1.3 kg (Adult)
The population size of black-footed cats is estimated at 13,867 animals of which 9,707 are estimated to be mature. No subpopulation is considered to contain more than 1,000 mature individuals due to the species' patchy distribution. In South Africa, the population is estimated at 8,334 mature individuals
Luke Hunter, Chief Conservation Officer at the feline-centered Panthera organization, tells Weisberger that the black-footed cat, which kills an average of 10 to 14 rodents or small birds every night, has an accelerated metabolism that requires it to hunt almost non-stop
According to the BBC, they have a 60 percent success rate in killing. That's right, this tiny, spotted puff is a vicious murderer, and you should be very afraid, especially if you're small insect or rodent!!! Seriously, though, these cats are no joke.

With a 60 percent success rate, black-footed cats are about three times as successful as lions, which average a successful kill about 20 to 25 percent of the time, Hunter said
south Africa
yes there population is decreasing
Being opportunistic hunters, they will eat a variety of small mammals, birds, insects and reptiles. They often sleep in unused aardvark and springhare burrows, rock crevices, or termite mounds during the day. Black-footed cats frequently move great distances in the wild to hunt
