The farmer says he and his family managed to capture the animal on February 26 after discovering that around a dozen chickens on his farm were either missing or dead.
 
Leopard cats are a nationally-protected species in China.
 
A leopard cat is slightly larger than a domestic cat. It usually preys2 on rodents4, birds, fish, reptiles5, and small mammals. However, the animals are known to prey3 on livestock6 as well.
 
The captured leopard cat suffered only minor7 injuries in its capture. It will be released back into the wild by local authorities after it recovers.
