" Cats are cute. That may help explain why so many of us have cats as pets, and perhaps why cats appear to have taken over the internet.
But here at BBC Earth, we want to take you beyond the everyday, and show you the wonderful world as it really is.
There are actually around 37 species of wild cat living today.
Unlike the big cats many people recognise, such as lions and tigers, many wild cat species are small, rare and little-known.
But they are just as deserving of our adoration as the pets we keep at home, and far more endangered.
So to help raise their profile, we thought we would create our own cat challenge.
Can you spot which of the following are wild cat species, and which are breeds of everyday moggy?
The answers, and some tidbits about each tiddles, can be found after the photographs.
No early peeking. "
