Imagine a really fancy cat that decided to be extra flamboyant. It's covered in a mix of spots and patches that look like someone spilled a bunch of paint, and it's way too good at sneaking around. This not-so-tiny furball hangs out in snowy forests like it thinks it’s the star of a winter fashion show. It's super rare, like finding a unicorn in your backyard, and it’s got a name that sounds like it should belong to a mythical creature instead of a leopard. Basically, it’s a glamorous ghost cat that’s really good at hiding and prefers the cold over, you know, warm sunny beaches.
