Jungle cats have a plain coat that varies from reddish to sandy yellow in the southern part of their population, while in the north, their color is shades of gray. They also have light brown stripes on their limbs and a few rings on their tail, which ends with a dark tip.
When their cheek rubs against something, they leave behind their saliva as a scent marker for other cats. They also rub their cheeks against other scents marking to pick up their scent; males will regularly cheek-rub females. Unlike many other wild cats, these cats are not nocturnal and do most of the hunting in the morning and late afternoon.
