Felines | Felidae

Felidae, or Felines, is a terrestrial family of furry four-legged mammalian obligate carnivores with a tendency to meow. Felidae have the most diverse fur patterns of all terrestrial carnivores, ranging from spots to stripes to solids. The family of Felidae includes domestic cats, as well as, big, wild cats such as lions. All members of the Felidae family have retractable claws and a knack for hunting and stalking their prey. While there are similarities between members of the Felidae family, there are still many differences; most live alone, but lions live in prides, and feral cats form colonies, they can live in deserts, the arctic, or jungles, and some are nocturnal while others are active during the day.

Where did felines originate?

Felines can be traced back to 37 million years ago and are native to almost every region except for Australia and Antarctica. Smaller cats specifically can be traced back to western Eurasia about 10 million years ago. The domestic cat originated in ancient Egypt and Near East and was domesticated about 10,000 years ago.

Which felines live in groups?

Lions are the only felines that truly live in groups called prides. In prides all the females are related and live with the pride for life. A pride typically consists of 5 or 6 female lions, their cubs, and 1 or 2 male lions that mate with the female lions. Cheetah males may gather in bachelor groups temporarily.

What is the biggest feline species?

The biggest feline species is the liger, the hybrid of the lion and tiger that was developed by breeding a male lion and a female tiger. The liger weights about 795 lbs (360 kg) and can reach a length of 11 to 12 feet (3.35 – 3.65 m) with a height of 6 feet (1.82 m). Other big feline species are the Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, and Lion.

Javanese Cat

The Javanese cat, known for its long fur and devotion to its owner, is one breed in a series of designer Siamese cats. Other cat breeds in this series are the Balinese, Colorpoint Shorthair, Oriental Shorthair, and Oriental Longhair. The Javanese is most similar to the Colorpoint Shorthair; in fact, they are the same, except the Javanese has a long coat. It is a debate among breeders if it is worth it to maintain separate Balinese and Javanese breeds because they share most traits. The Javanese is talkative, responsive, and curious cat that loves the company of their owner.

American Curl Cat

The American Curl cat, known for its ears that curl back, is a slender, affectionate, gentle cat which can vary in size. Originating in California in the 1980s, the American Curl cat was first discovered when two stray kittens with curled ears appeared on a family’s doorstep. Unassuming about their ears, the family took the kitten in and bred it, thus passing on the dominate genetic mutation. It was only after Nancy Kiester acquired two kittens for their gentle demeanor that she realized it was a new breed entirely. Loved for their personality and appearance, the American Curl is a beloved breed.

American Curl Cats have an overall height of 9”-12” (23-30 cm), body length of 16”-21” (41-53 cm), and weight between 5-10 lb (2.3-4.5 kg). American Curl Cats have a typical lifespan between 12-16 years.
