Phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear DNA in tissue samples from all Felidae species revealed that the evolutionary radiation of the Felidae began in Asia in the Miocene around [ 3 ] [ 15 ] Analysis of mitochondrial DNA of all Felidae species indicates a radiation at around 16.76 to 6.46 million years ago .

The Prionailurus species are estimated to have had a common ancestor between 20] and 22] Both models agree in the rusty-spotted cat ( P. rubiginosus ) having been the first cat of this evolutionary lineage that genetically diverged , followed by the flat-headed cat ( P. planiceps ) and then the fishing cat ( P. viverrinus ).
The Sunda leopard cat (Prionailurus javanensis) is a small wild cat species native to the Sundaland islands of Java, Bali, Borneo, Sumatra and the Philippines that is considered distinct from the leopard cat occurring in mainland South and Southeast Asia.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences say the feline called Prionailurus kurteni was an extinct species of leopard cat. It was small enough to fit in the palm of one’s hand.
The rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) is one of the cat family's smallest members, of which historical records are known only from India and Sri Lanka. [3] In 2012, it was also recorded in the western Terai of Nepal . [ 4 ]
A phylogenetic tree, phylogeny or evolutionary tree is a graphical representation which shows the evolutionary history between a set of species or taxa during a specific time. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In other words, it is a branching diagram or a tree showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon ...
The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat with short reddish-brown fur. Its head is elongated, and its ears are rounded. Its head is elongated, and its ears are rounded. Its slender body is 41 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) long with a tail of 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in), and it weighs 1.5 to 2.5 kg (3.3 to 5.5 lb).
