Sand cat
The sand cat (Felis margarita) is a small wild cat in the Felinae subfamily. It is distributed over African and Asian deserts.  Sometimes people call it "desert cat," but that is really the name of a different animal.  The sand cat does live in deserts, even the Sahara and Arabian Desert.  It is also found in Iran and Pakistan.  In zoos, this cat can live for up to 13 years.
