Felinae is a subfamily that includes many unique and diverse species of cats. Their morphological, ecological and behavioral characteristics make them an important object of biological research. At the same time, as humans’ pets and companions, cats also play an important role in our daily lives.

Felinae mainly includes all cats that do not belong to the Leopardae. This includes domestic cats, wild cats, forest cats, desert cats and other cats. These animals are generally small, ranging in size and weight from a few kilograms to tens of kilograms. Their skulls are relatively small and their teeth are small and sharp, suitable for catching small prey.
