Personal Notes I have never seen one of these Cats alive. A Babewera hunter of mine managed to Trap one fine Specimen for me which was later sent to the American Museum. This represents the first complete specimen to ever go to the American Museum. I have seen numerous skins at Malepolole, Bechuanaland at the trading stores. Collected several skins while I was there. Saw one complete parcel of Skins at an Indian Trading Store at Malepolole. Black-footed Cat are rare even where they are most numerous. I believe the largest number are found in the South Western part of Bechuanaland around Coolboy and the Molopo River. I have been to Setlhaheng and Ditlwe in the Central Kalahari where they are brought in as trade skins from time to time. At Ngamiland, I never found a native who had seen a Black- footed Cat in this area.
