https://www.independent.ie/world-news/and-finally/watch-this-rare-fishing-cat-kitten-finetune-its-vision-by-playing-with-toys-36854527.htmlPlay sessions are crucial in the development of animals, as this video of a fishing cat kitten from Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden demonstrates.
The kitten, whose species is endangered, was born less than a month ago on March 31 and is being hand-reared after its mother didnt display signs of maternal care.
But the nameless kitten in question seems to be doing just fine, and is busy developing its coordination by the look of it.
Some days are simply meant for playing and sleeping . and eating the zoos Facebook post read.

Our local zoo had fishing cats for awhile, with a pool they could fish in. Unfortunately they were traded to another zoo (apparently this happens fairly often, like baseball teams - four fishing cats traded for a mammal to be named later, or something), and I was so disappointed. They were so cute and such fun to watch.
