Although found in arid climates, the Ring-tailed Cat often makes it's den near to water. The animal is nocturnal and so avoids the heat of the day. The Ring Tail has been specially designed so that it can easily climb trees, cracks/crevices and explore desert cracks:
- Their long tails provide balance for negotiating narrow ledges and limbs, even allowing them to reverse directions by performing a cartwheel.
- These remarkable animals can rotate their hind feet 180 degrees, giving them purchase for rapidly descending cliffs or trees as well as cacti.
- Ring-tailed Cats can ascend narrow passages by pressing all feet on one wall and their back against the other or by pressing both right feet on one wall and both left feet on the other. They can also ascent wider cracks or openings by ricocheting between the walls.
Winter - mammals and birds e.g. mice, woodrats, squirrels and rabbits.
Summer - mainly insects
Ring Tails can subsist without free water if their diet consists of high protein prey or fruit and insects.
They often move frequently and do not usually stay in a den for more than 3 days. This means that the landscape and food supply are constantly changing and therefore won't run out.

How many days can a cat survive in a dessert?
Frankly, I don't think a cat would stay in a dessert; they typically don't like sweet things like cake and pie, and ice cream, while they might enjoy the milk products, is just too cold. How long a cat would survive in a desert depends on the desert, on whether the cat has acclimated to the desert, and on the condition of the cat at the start of the adventure. An ordinary house cat in an equatorial desert is unlikely to survive longer than a couple of days, and then only if he is able to catch bugs and mice overnight for their water. A cat who has learned the habits of desert prey, and who has found a cool place to stay through the day, is likely to last some time longer, possibly a month or more.
