The number of accepted species in Felidae has been around 40 since the 18th century, though research, especially modern molecular phylogenetic analysis, has over time adjusted the generally accepted genera as well as the divisions between recognized subspecies, species, and population groups. [9]
Felidae (/ ˈ f ɛ l ɪ d iː /) is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora colloquially referred to as cats.A member of this family is also called a felid (/ ˈ f iː l ɪ d /). [3] [4] [5] [6]
I pulled the data into a file, wrote a program to build wikitables out of it, and here's the result: List of felids, a list of all 41 species in the Felidae family, otherwise known as "cats". I based the format on the relatively recent FLs List of parrots and List of fruit bats , and the taxonomic structure on the thankfully recent IUCN ...

The species vary in size from the tiny black-footed cat (Felis nigripes) at only 2 kg (4.5 lb) to the tiger (Panthera tigris) at 300 kg (660 lb). Diet ranges from large to small mammals, birds and insects (depending on species size). Family Hyaenidae (hyenas and aardwolf) has four extant species and two
The small cats or Felinae are a subfamily of Felidae distinguished by their bony hyoids, which let them purr but not roar. [2] Other authors have proposed an alternative definition for this subfamily, as comprising only the living conical-toothed cat genera with two tribes, the Felini and Pantherini, and excluding the extinct sabre-toothed Machairodontinae.
Felidae (/ ˈ f ɛ l ɪ d iː /) is the family of mammals in the order Carnivora colloquially referred to as cats. A member of this family is also called a felid ( / ˈ f iː l ɪ d / ). The 41 extant Felidae species exhibit the greatest diversity in fur patterns of all terrestrial carnivores.
or cat-like Carnivora in the narrower sense, i. e. it comprises only the family Felidae (recently also Prionodontidae) and its closest extinct relatives. The Aeluroidea in the first, i.e. broader sense, has been sometimes called infraorder Aeluroida since 1982.
