These rusty-spotted cats are the smallest in the world!

They're meow-nificent creatures, but they don't weigh much more than a bag of sugar!

This isn't a kitten. When it's almost fully grown, this cat can sit in the palm of your hand.

The rusty-spotted cat is around 200 times smaller than a lion, and lives in Sri Lanka.

Check out Ricky's video to find out all about it!

You can find out even more about the rusty-spotted cat, and lots of other cool cats in the BBC's new wildlife documentary Big Cats.

You can watch the first programme on Thursday 11 Jan, at 8pm on BBC One.
