\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Fishing Cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. They are twice the size of a domestic cat. Their claws do not retract all the way like most cats, and they love water. Not only do they swim and fish, but they swim underwater for long distances. Fishing cat territory is unfortunately, prime waterfront property where human development continues to destroy habitat and over-exploit fish stock. Fishing cats are forced to eke out an existence among human settlements, even in cities, where they are hunted and blamed for predation of chickens and other small livestock. Luckily there are some foundations that are working to protect them and give them sanctuaries where they and other wild animals can live.
\nThis painting is for sale 8.5\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 x 11.5\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 and for only $150.00! The proceeds will go towards renting two fishing ponds in Thailand to help conserve these wonderful cats.<\/p>\n

About the painting:
\nI depicted the cat on a rock, which is like a small island, depicting the fragility of their existence today. The reference photo was taken from a large group of photos taken by a Russian couple who have a Fishing cat in their home. They have given open permission to use their images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
