Sand Cat

Cool Kitty.

I would be honored to drive for this cat (Canyon?). Being a Sand Cat, I guess a classic dune buggy might be cool -- a Scion A would be cool too. No easy way to put him on a mountain bike though...

Good pod. I'd like to see another pod with much more info (and better audio of course).

That kitty is sooo foxy looking with those cheeks!

the margarita music is a cute touch, but it was far too loud compared to scott's voice. Meow. I'd like to see these next time I go to Big Cat Rescue for a tour. Meow.
I gave these people my inheritance from my grandpa, they care about the big kitties.

Wonderful.
Thank you!

wow..thanks to everyone who made this little cat go to number 1!
I will tell Canyon he is a star:)

Be sure to give to animal conservation and keep our big cats wild!

Well...looks like I got here on time. GL for sure, and good luck with all your other productions.

very informative. I never knew about these cats until now. Awesome!

wish i could have one!

I love the work you do. many blessings to the staff.

go sand cat go..

People need to know.

just liked it

I thought your coverage of the sand cats was really informative. The only thing that bothered me was that the music came in a little loud at the end. It would be nice to have it fade up, then fade down at the end. Overall it was super cool and inspiring! Thank you for doing a pod on this subject.

thanks..hopefully this lil' cat can hold onto #1 for just 1 days and a few more hours..
Yes, we would have LOVED to go overseas and film a wild sand cat..not sure if anyone has wild sand cat footage.

Informative video, only suggestion would be to have footage of the cats in their wild habitat.

There is a group called the Dwarf Cat Association (TDCA), check em out.

So cute! And informative. Good job. GL.

Audio was off a little compared to mouth movement. Greenlight

COOL!I WANT TO BUY ONE.

it's good for the most part, except when the margarita name was announced.

that was a bit loud and annoying, but overall I enjoyed it and learned something new!

I've been to BCR & seen Canyon, the Sand Cat in this video, he IS tiny! At first I thought Sand Cats were ugly - big, broad heads - but the more I see them I think they're adorable! : )

Wow! Awesome to see you in the number one slot! I'm psyched! Good job! I wish there was more I could do besides vote and link myspage to you. Keep up the good work!

Great production. cool topic.. i definitely had never heard of a Sand Cat before seeing this

Cool. Very interesting, nicely done. Good sound and images. Good amount of information. Good length defenatly should go on TV.

Cool Cats

Love it. You put out great pods about the kitties

There is one quick scene in which the sand cat is behind the host. The cat due to its size is not one to come up to people.
Thank you all for your comments, I am glad we are still in the top 5. Not to make excuses, but picture a busy day with cleaning and feeding 140 cats and at times getting a moment to grab the camera, get scott (the host), and shoot a quick video on the fly before we have to do something else. So for it to compete with producers that went to film school and those who take time to do the pods..we are VERY glad we made it this far. thanks for watching!

Would like to see the size of the animal compared to a human. All the images were of the cat alone and it's hard to tell how small they are. Also a quick expert interview or map, or some other teaching image would add a lot. Really interesting though!

Loved it. Nice verbal flow. Great quality video.

ur so cool to work for BIG CAT. great life choice!

Very fascinating and well done video! Great footage and nice close ups of those majestic cats. This site needs more great videos like this! Reminds us all of the importance of species and ecological conservation.

I learn so much by watching these spotlights! Thanks for the info that's presented in such an entertaining, "in the field" way.

This was very informative, I would love to see the sand cat in it's natural habitat!

Insightful feline doc, A species I have not paid much attention because I thought they were domestic tabbys. Learnt something new today. Has anyone ever heard about a Liger? I am hunting one down for my next documentary.

About the sand cat in the wild:
Since the sand cat is difficult to study in the wild and little is known about its. The World Conservation Union (IUCN), feels that sand cat populations are low due to habitat loss. As human population increases, more of its desert habitat is cultivated and over-grazed by livestock. Illegal hunting for the pet trade may also hurt sand cat populations.

Wow! I didn't even know these cats even existed! This a great way to get more people involved in the education of such animals. I give truly feel it deserves the green light!

The tone of the piece starts off comical, but you should really listen to the commentator; he says twice in the pod what the sand cats eat and this should not have been repeated. Instead you should get to the fact that these cats are becoming extinct and what could be done to prevent it. Most people living outside of the region that the cats are native to still have little idea of how we can help preserve these wonderful cats. I'll hold on voting for now, because the commentator was knowlegeable and passionate, but it's up to the pod producer to edit out redundancy.

Well I am mexican and my english is not very good but I can say that the video like me because is about a team unknowed for most all people and to know about these kind of animal makes us apreciate them more.

Thanks!

Interesting and Informative pod

Just heard about these cats on the "news".
I'm glad you are exploring topics such as this.\
GL
It is sad when you think of all the habitats we have destroyed. And for what?

cute cats

Very informative. I've never even heard of this cat before! Greenlight, but I might get rid of the "Margarita" music, and play a light track under the whole pod. Great Job!

Thanks for putting us into the top 5!!!
Please check out our "4 tiger rescue" pod.

This pod is short, and a lot of comments have been about the loud music over the scientific name part.
That was my Andy Kaufman type moment to wake people up.
At any rate..thanks so much for watching a little pod about a little cat.

Works for me, I'd lose that silly music over the title though where you say the proper name of the cat (margherita...), it doesn't work for me. GL! -zen

Loved it!!!!!!
your right. no even i know there were
such cats as Sand Cats and
I know most of the cats and big cats out there.
I hope your pod gets on tv it's well done
and informs people to how there are many animals we need to know about and help,
like the Sand Cat, many people don't know about that are disappering at an alarming rate.

cut it down a little
GL

interesting information

Very informative pod. I did not know about sand cats before.

Wow, great stuff. I had never heard of these cats before. Very informative. Keep up the good work and good luck!

nicely done.

Sweet Pod. I have ten cats of my own and hope to one day have my own sanctuary.

This is a great "education" on sand cats. I don't know how anyone could not greenlight it, especially since it is in danger of becoming extinct.

I like this pod. Too often do we focus on the charismatic megafauna and lose sight of the real key to biodiversity which is niche. The biodiversity issue is a greater tragedy than even the human tragedies of war that we see today. I tried to post instructions on how to post a link, but the message read my html tags and wouldn't let the instructions appear correctly in the browser !
google "how do I post a link". it's actually very simple and there are a ton of web pages that will tell you how to do it. It's just a matter of typing a couple of extra blurbs of code into your message.
here's a link to my pod about senseless killings in Iraq.

thank you for keeping the world informed..great footage of the cat and interesting presentation of it's plight

i want a sand cat now, that's probably not the idea though. i'll get a ranch first and let them run free! i'm a softie for cats.

I love cats, anything cats

Congratulations on making it to #6!

I love cats anyway, but that is about one of the most beautiful cats I've seen! Great footage and editing.

Very nicely done. handsome critters.

I've never heard of a sand cat and I really enjoy watching your pods.

Thanks for checking out the video. We are happy that Sand Cat is still up in the top ten, but fo us our tiger rescue video is the most important to view.
I wish i knew how to create a link for it so that like you i can tell others to check it out. But i am good around animals, not so good around computers :)

Sweet piece. I love your work especially the 4 caged tigers one....very nice. GL!!!

Check out my piece on recycled bikes
link

What a gorgeous animal! Would like to know more about this species' origins.

enter your post here

always love your cat pods! Very informative and entertaining. Felix Margarita - LOL!

show more fottage of the cats!
Music at the end should fade in, not just turn on suddenly

very interesting. wow, a sand cat. new to me.
as for filmmaking aspect, could make a bit more interesting with more creative editing techniques of the cat images while listening to the narrator. maybe some other footage instead of the same shots repeated.

I love the margarita bit!! And thought it was very interesting on the whole....

just an interesting tidbit of info. never heard of the sand cat before.

good spotlight

This was interesting. Like just about everybody else, I had never heard of a Sand Cat. I really like seeing this kind of stuff though. Maybe minus the margarita bit.

I had no idea that Sand Cat even existed. I thought I was going to watch a video about a kitty. Very informative. Though the video still makes me want to pet one.

Nice filmwork. Informative and always important and relevant. I like the idea- but the loud jazzy margarita part is not working somehow. Sets the piece up wrong? Less volume?

Interesting.

Fun piece. I'd never heard of sand cats before. GL.

thanks for introducing me to the sand cat. i never knew they existed. very nice work and presentation, i agree with the other poster to change your titles for a more polished look to match the presentation. these cats are beautiful, thanks for your work to support them.

I want me one.

i'm from tampa, which is where big cat rescue is so you got the gl but dude...wtf. you're cut off

arrr this production is so full of cuteness!! I never seen or heard of Sand Cats before. Commentator is sweet too, can I have one please???? oh and I'd love a sand cat too ;)

Good use of humor in spots! I also like how you are just laying on the ground and are still very engaging. GL!

When you get a chance, please check out my recent pods, "We have issues..." and "Retiring in Exhile."

Didnt even know what a Sand Cat was?.....Cool...Thanks ...got my GL.....When you have a minute - please review "The Kitchen Killer" - a POD on indoor air quality/burns associated with Open Flame Cooking and a simple low cost solution. It effects those Least Served.
The link is :link

awesome, this pod rocks!!! make more of these pods im looking forward to it!!!

I love (sand) cat, and your pod is great and very informative. Thank you!

If you want to see my (house) cat , please check out my pod, it's about housing bubble in Paris, and let me know what you think...

I think this could be an important issue, most of the cat families are disappearin and maybe we really should inform more people about this stuff. The kitties are cute too!

I love the tight shots of the Sand Cat, beautiful animal and great camera work.

I would rework the titles, but otherwise very nice.
gl

Thought the segment was well-made, with nice amount of humour and lots of information.

Very informative...I've never heard of the sand cat before. GL!

If you can, I'd appreciate it of you can take a look at my Sony VCAM. Thanks!

Well done! I look forward to seeing this on t.v.

Cool Video! Well done and good soundtrack.
Interesting-I never heard of sand cats before this show.

Put it on TV!!!

Awwwww, how can they not make good pets???

Good pod, I hope to check out more in the series. GL.

Check out my "idiots" when you can...

awwwww... how CUTE! never heard of sand cats until this pod. Lovely. GL.

I think the content was good. Some of the camera work could be helped and I think maybe the narrator a bit more interesting. overall good job.

I thought I knew a great deal about cats and here is a type I had never even heard of. Really informative piece. My 16 lb domestic cat would seem like a giant to these little guys

i don't love cats, but i am now crushin on the sand cats...they are so cute! i like the way you approached this piece. very informative and enjoyable. gl from kendallfresh!

How is this not yet an ongoing series on Current? I was super impressed with how this was all run. Its just a naturally good fit and seems like a great idea, in small bites, easy to digest and gain a lot from (leaves us wanting more - are there longer versions?) I think videos like this are great to utlize in the classroom as well. Good luck...Ill keep watching.

If you get the chance, check out my first launch, We Create.
