The Sand Cat's Diet, Enemies, Threats, and Dangers

The sand cat's diet is three species of gerbils, birds, and various reptiles; to get most of their prey, they hunt by digging.  The sand cat's own enemies are venomous snakes, jackals, owls, and definitely humans.
Sand cat threats from humans are habitat degradation, human settlement in sand cats' habitats, crops planted by humans, and they may be killed in traps made for foxes and jackals.  Some natural dangers of the sand cats are droughts, domestic dogs or cats, loss of natural vegetation, and disease.
