No, Asian Golden Cats aren't extinct quite yet. The IUCN Red List charts the Asian Golden Cat as Near Threatened. The Asiatic golden cat is broadly accounted for as uncommon and threatened by deforestation. Other exceeding threats include people hunting them for their pelt and bones. Their meat is considered a delicacy in some places and the whole animal is often roasted on a spit. The bones are occasionally ground into a powder that is given to children to treat fevers. Livestock predation, which usually leads to persecution, has also been reported. Although they are reported to be decreasing in India and Indonesia, no factual information is known of their status in the wild.
