This is a genus that encompasses a group of small spotted cats that are generally found in Central & South America throughout a wide variety of habitats and ecosystems.

Although most of them are the same size as your neighborhood house cat they aren’t nearly as friendly.

These animals are the oldest branch of the cat family to cross into the Americas. Interestingly enough the leopard is not in this genus, they are in the Panthera genus.

There are four members of the lynx genus, although there has been disagreements about how to classify them & some put them in the felis genus. For the purpose of our introductions, we’ve separated them to keep confusion to a minimum.

These are medium sized cats who have characteristic short tails, tufts of black hair on their ears & big padded paws.

The animals in this genus are found in a wide variety of habitats, & their differing physical characteristics reflect their natural surroundings.

The Prionailurus genus encompasses a number of small Asian cats. They are about the same size as the domestic cat, but differentiated by a thick, short tail, a short snout & large eyes.

While they look similar to their felis cousins their large eyes give them a distinct look.

Collectively this group of cats are typically forest dwellers and known for their swimming ability. Some of the members are semi-aquatic and live mainly on a fish diet.

The felidae family is a large and very diverse one, so we have been introducing you to them one genus at a time. If you haven’t already, go meet the mighty lions and tigers.

Felis is a smaller, but by no means a tamer bunch. They may look like your neighborhood cat but if you try to tickle one under the chin you may loose a finger.

Although these are wild cats, this is the genus that gave birth to the domestic cat of today.
