Theball-tailed cat (Felis caudaglobosa) is afearsome critter ofNorth American folklore most commonly described as having similar traits to that of amountain lion, except with an exceedingly long tail to which there is affixed a solid, bulbous mass for striking its prey.[1] Tales of ball-tailed cats were common among woodsmen during the turn of the 20th century and many variations exist; two of the more prominent variants are the digmaul and the sliver cat. The latter is distinguishable for not only having a smooth-sided ball for knocking wayfarers unconscious, but in addition a spiked-side for piercing and grappling its victims.[2]
