Expressions Definition
Flat-headed Cat The Flat-headed Cat (Prionailurus planiceps, sometimes Felis planiceps or Ictailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat of Southeast Asia. It is 45 cm in length, plus 15 cm tail. The fur is dark brown; there are some blackish spots on the throat and the legs, but all in all the fur is unpatterned. The legs are rather short, the ears are short and round. The form of the head is absolutely untypical of a cat; it is flat and long-snouted. The Flat-headed Cat is one of only three cats which are not able to retract their claws (the others being the Cheetah and the Iriomote Cat). (references)
