![]() An individual was observed at night resting on a tree branch 25 m above the ground in Borneo. They were thought to spend most of their time in the trees, and in the past this has been thought to account for the rarity of sightings. Known as a very good climbers, these cats are able to climb down a tree headfirst. However, recent camera trap studies for other species on Sumatra, Borneo, Thailand and Lao indicate the Marbled cat may be primarily diurnal. One radio collared individual in Thailand was mainly active at night, and several observations in Borneo were in the late evening. It was originally thought to be primarily crepuscular and nocturnal. The ecology and behaviour of the Marbled cat are poorly known. On Sumatra, the species has been recorded by camera traps located in very small fragments of remnant forest within a landscape of coffee plantations, as well as in lowland secondary and primary forests. In Borneo one cat was observed in an isolated forest that had been logged six years previously. There have also been observations of the species in secondary forests, cleared areas or agricultural plantations, and at lower elevations. It seems to have a preference for remote moist forests and primary forests. The Marbled cat is forest dependent and appears to be mainly associated with moist and mixed deciduous-evergreen tropical forests. Her home range was calculated as 5.3 km². The species has never been studied in the wild, with the exception of one radio-collared female in Thailand that was tracked for a month. Although they have a relatively wide geographical distribution, their range is highly fragmented.

It is black tipped with dull spotting down its length. The Marbled Cat’s round, bushy tail is very long, and sometimes even exceeds the length of the head and body. The legs are relatively short and end in broad foot pads. The backs of the short rounded ears are black with a grey bar. The head is short, and more rounded than other felines, with a wide forehead, large brown pupils, and marked with three dark stripes on either side. The underparts are light grey or off white, marked with solid black spots. Their fur is thick and soft with a well-developed underfur. The background colour of the coat is a brownish grey through reddish brown, with narrow, longitudinal, black stripes on the crown, neck and back.
