Originally, the Mojave Spotted Cat was named the Mojave Desert Cat, and it was developed in order to save the feline, which lived in the Mojave Desert. These cats are medium to large, weighing 8-22 pounds. They have very tightly muscled bodies, medium long legs (the hind legs are longer) and short to medium long tails (bobtails are permissible.) The head is somewhat wedgeshaped, the ears are medium to large, and the eyes are almond-shaped.
