 * The bay cat is local to Borneo but research has shown that they are also located inside East Kalimantan, Kutai National Park, Wehea Protection Forest, and Sungai Wain Protection Forest. In addition, all sightings of the bay cat have been close to a waterway. Sightings of the bay cat are uncommon and they generally stay away from human settlements. (Cheyne, Loken, and Macdonald, 2015)
 * The bay cat is local to Borneo and camera trap data published by Susan Cheyne and colleagues has shown that they are located inside East Kalimantan, Kutai National Park, Wehea Protection Forest, and Sungai Wain Protection Forest. In addition, all reported sightings of the bay cat have been near a waterway.
 * Bay cat sightings are uncommon and they generally avoid human settlements.


 * In Indonesia and Malaysia there is under six percent of land region which is protected.(Wearn, Marcus Rowcliffe, Carbone, Bernard, and Sewers, 2013) 


 * Bay cats are ensured under the Flora and Fauna security law in Indonesia. (Cheyne, Loken, and Macdonald, 2015)


 * In a research experiment directed to survey the situation with wild felines from arbitrary areas, there were no habitat feature variables retained in the base satisfactory models for the bay cat. In addition, bay cats had a lower detention frequency than that which was initially expected when it was calculated using all of the studies combined. With the detention frequency calculated using the random locations, there was a much greater value than the normal one from previous examinations. (Wearn, Marcus Rowcliffe, Carbone, Bernard, and Sewers, 2013) The findings of this study also suggest that if these vast regions of disturbed forest were identified, they could be used to aid in the species' conservation.
 * Bay cats had a lower detection frequency than what was initially expected after being calculated using all of the studies combined. This value increased when it was calculated using the random locations. These findings suggest that if vast regions of disturbed forest were identified, they could be used to aid in the species' conservation.


 * Bay cats have been invariably rare in camera trap investigations and have been seen on or very close to the ground when sighted directly. They also tended to have a random usage of habitat features and generally avoided logging features.
 * Animal trappers and traders represent a significant threat to the bay cat since it is sought after by overseas zoos and breeding facilities.
 * After camera trap studies were done, there have been new records of the bay cat showing how they expanded their habitat tolerances since the population’s previous assessment. There was an increase in bay cat detection frequencies which suggests that bay cats may be more abundant than past research has shown.  Bay cats can survive in habitats with different elevations such as upland forests, highly disturbed forests, and montane forests.
 * After the camera trap studies were finished, new records have shown that the bay cat expanded its habitat tolerances since the population's previous assessment. The increase in detection frequencies suggest that they may be more abundant than past research has shown.
 * Bay cats can survive in habitats with different elevations, some examples being upland forests, highly disturbed forests, and montane forests.


 * Some bay cats have black fur.
 * One bay cat was reported to be particularly dark colored, but reddish coloration was still visible in its extremities.
 * The bay cat appears to exhibit habitat plasticity bases on observations, historical records, and photographs from camera traps.
 * The bay cat is suggested to be forest dependent, and the fact that no bay cats were recorded from the camera trap surveys of oil plantations in Sabah supports this suggestion.
 * It is estimated that the bay cats are more abundant in unlogged forest.
 * Because the bay cat is suggested to be forest dependent, the previous and predicted loss of forest across Borneo poses a threat to them.
 * The Sarawak Wildlife Protection Ordinance prohibits the collection and hunting of bay cats in Sarawak, Malaysia. The Government of Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 7 protects the bay cat in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Sabah Wildlife Conservation Enactment states that bay cats are only able to be hunted under license, however no licenses of this requirement have ever been issued.
 * Lowland and upland forests are the most beneficial habitats for the bay cat while swamp forests and lower montane forests are considered to be a poor habitat. Non-forest or burnt forest areas are unsuitable for the species.
 * An extensive area of interior Borneo which includes sub montane forest, hill forest, and lowland forest is predicted to be a suitable habitat for the bay cat. This supports Meijaard's hypothesis that they are widely spread across the island.
 * The upland forests of the Sungai Ingei Protection Forest and the Ulu Temburong National Park are predicted to be highly suitable habitats for the bay cat. The Sungai Ingei Protection Forest is contiguous with the Mulu National Park which is likely a key area in Sarawak for bay cat protection. Because of this, these two regions ae potentially key areas for bay cat protection in Brunei.
 * The approximate one million hectare Yayasan Sabah Forest Management Area includes Danum Valley, Maliau Basin, and Imbak Canyon Conservation Areas, and the Ulu Segama–Malua Forest Reserve. Every one of these areas are predicted to be of high suitability for the bay cat and therefore offer perhaps the best chance for long term conservation of the bay cat in Sabah. More regions containing habitats of high suitibility in Malaysia include the Deramakot Forests Reserve, Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Tawau Hills Park, and Ulu Kalumpang Protection Forest Reserve. However, these areas appear to be  isolated from adjacent bay cat populations which could limit their overall value to long term conservation efforts.
 * A contiguous and very big portion of North and East Kalimantan is predicted to be suitable habitat for the bay cat, especially in the forested uplands. Within the uplands, the Kayan Mentarang National Park is predicted to contain some of the most suitable habitat for the bay cat. This region is likely to have a vital role in connecting the areas of high suitability in Sabah, Sarawak and elsewhere in Kalimantan. It is an extremely important area for the conservation of the bay cat globally. The Müller Mountains are also predicted to be highly suitable and may act as a natural corridor between the Kayan Mentarang National Park and Betung Kerihun National Park in West Kalimantan.
 * In Indonesia, forested regions of the Schwaner Range were predicted to be suitable and the protected areas of the Bukit Baka–Bukit Raya National Park, and particularly Bukit Batikap I, II and III and Bukit Sepat Haung Nature Reserves are likely to be important regions for bay cat protection. In West Kalimantan. In addition, the Bukit Ronga and Bukit Perai Protection Forests create potentially important areas for bay cat protection, however their isolated nature may reduce their overall value. The highest potential for bay cat conservation in West Kalimantan are the Bukit Batutenobang Protection Forest and Betung Kerihun National Park as they form one of the biggest contiguous areas of forest that connect the priority bay cat regions in Central Kalimantan to the ones located in Sarawak.
