Because the spots on its body look very similar to Chinese copper coins, the leopard cat is also called " money cat ". There are spots on the side of the body, but they are never connected to vertical stripes. There is a white stripe from the inner corner of the eye to the nose, and the nose snout is white. The ears are big and pointed, black behind the ears, with white spots. Two distinct black stripes extend from the inside of the corner of the eye to the base of the ear. There are rings at the tail, to the black tail tip.
