Cats-proper belong to a family called (text-style:"bold","outline")[Felidae]. Forty-one species of kitties currently inhabit planet Earth. These animals boast retractile claws, slender but muscular bodies, and can purr.

The order Carnivora breaks down into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caniformia">Caniforms</a> (mostly dogs) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliformia">Feliforms</a> (cats). Thse two branches split about 50 million years ago. Dogs belong to a family called (text-style:"bold","outline")[Canidae], but caniforms encompass other critters than just our barking friends. Nine extant families and 220 species comprise the suborder. About 46 million years ago, Canidae cleaved from the other caniforms, which became the clade of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctoidea">Arctoidea</a>. This group contains some dog relatives that might surprise you!

Though we like to think of dogs and cats as vastly different beasts, they both inhabit the order <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivora">Carnivora</a>. In fact, the two major extant branches of the order are Feliformia and Caniformia. Go backwards in time enough and you'll discover that cats and dogs diverged from a common ancestor. This extinct predecessor lived somewhere between 40 and 55 million years ago and might have looked something like this:

The species in the subfamily Pantherinae diverged from other cats between 9.32 and 4.47 million years ago. Elastic tendons allow the larynxes of these kitties to be flexible, which enables most of these cats to roar.

The kitties of Felinae feature a bony hyoid, which allows them to purr but not roar. The Felines and the Panthers diverged around 11.5 million years ago, while the genera with Felinae branched from each other between 10.67 million and 4.23 million years ago. Phenotypically, these cats run a gamut from large pumas and cheetahs to tiny domestic and sand cats. Take a whirl through 34 species!

Around 11.3 million years ago, Panthera diverged from the other cats species. Five classic big cat species comrprise this genus. Tigers branched first, followed by snow leopards, then non-snow leopards. The last section to emerge includes the leopards, from which jaguars and lions deviated. Interestingly, genetic evidence shows lions to become distinct species just 0.34 million years ago. The panther species are native to Africa, Asia, and South America.<br><br>

//<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_leopard" target="_blank">Panthera uncia</a>//, the snow leopard, is the Panthera species that inhabits the cold regions of the Himalaya, Afganistan, and the Tibetan Plateau. Their white coats and markings allow them to blend into snowy landscapes, granting them the nickname "<a href="https://themountainsarecalling.earth/the-ghost-of-the-mountains/" target="_blank">Ghost of the Mountains</a>." Fewer than 10,000 individuals are thought to persist on the planet.

The leopard lineage features two genera, though //Otocolobus// only contains one species, Pallas's Cat. Prionailurus contains five species of small, spotted cats native to Asia. These kitties share fur patterns with the bigger leopards but are much smaller. The flat-headed cat almost looks like a feline-lemur mix!

The puma lineage is perhaps the most intriguing of all the cat branches. The grouping contains just three extant species, though they are each in their own genus. Two of the species are rather well known, cheetahs and cougars. These cats seem to have much more in common with the bigger cats of Panthera but they are related more closely to domestic house cats. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on the planet. Cougars are also known as pumas or mountain lions, and they are one of the few big cats that inhabits North America. How can an African cat and a North American be so closely related? Some scientists believe extinct, cheetah-like cats might have roamed North America in the distant past, then migrated across the Bering Strait. The lesser-known jaguarundi also occupies this section of feline linage, a cat that lives in Central and South America.

//<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#Ecology" target="_blank">Felis catus</a>// is the scientific name of your adorable kitten. Cats were domesticated by humans a mere 10,000 years ago, around 7500 BCE. Dogs, by contrast, were brought into the human fold more than 20,000 years ago, which helps explain why your cat won't listen to you but your dog does. The closest wild relative is the European wildcat, which looks a lot like the pussycat on your lap. The bane of birds, cats slightly make up for their outdoor terror by creating some of the internet's greatest videos.

Ursidea is the name of the bear family. Only eight species remain on the planet, though they live in much of the world. The Giant panda is part of this family, but they diverged the earliest. Spectacled bears were next, then sloth bears. The remaining five are more closely related.

We don't usually associated seals and skunks with dogs, but they are both distantly related to canines. The weasels and the seals are more closely related to each other than to dogs and bears, but they belong to the same lineage nonetheless. Interestingly, red pandas fit in here, instead of Ursidae.

Cerdocyonina is a subtribe that pertains to all species of canines endemic to South America. They appear fox-like but are more closely related to canids. The term "zorro" has been proposed by some scientists as a descriptor for these fox-dogs to avoid confusion with those other branches. We are in favor of this nomenclature. We're certain you'll agree.

Though each person likely has a favorite animal, only one type garners the nickname of humanity's "best friend." This saying comes partially from the fact that DNA evidence suggests dogs were the first animal species to be domesticated. Research indicates this marriage between human and dog likely took place more than 20,000 years ago, perhaps starting a long process as many as 25,000 years ago. Modern dogs evolved directly from an extinct species of wolf, called the Pleistocene wolf, not the extant gray wolf. Nonetheless, the gray wolf is the domestic dog's closest genetic relative. Because dogs have lived alongside humans for so long, they have developed the ability to subsist on starch, whereas other canines require strict protein. Over the millennia, humans have bred dogs to select for a slew of intangible traits and appearances. Some of these dogs have turned out to be comely. Others, not so much. The American Kennel Club currently recognizes 200 distinct breeds, but genomic studies show the number might be over 360. Inbreeding has become a bigger and bigger problem over the years. Mutts and mongrels are just as much humanity's "best friend!" If you're interested in learning more about a specific breed, here is a fairly exhaustive list (or scroll all the way down to watch a fairly exhaustive video):

Hello Kitty (ハローキティ, Harō Kitī), also known by her full name, Kitty White (キティ・ホワイト, Kitī Howaito), is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio, created by Yuko Shimizu, and designed by Yuko Yamaguchi. She is portrayed as a female white Japanese Bobtail Cat with a red bow worn on her left ear and often wears blue overalls with a yellow shirt on top. The character's first appearance on an item, a vinyl coin purse, was introduced in Japan in 1974. In Hello Kitty's Paradise, Hello Kitty & Friends, and Growing Up with Hello Kitty, She has gray paw pads.
This character is a staple of the kawaii segment of Japanese pop culture. The Hello Kitty trademark has spread globally; Sanrio earned over $1 billion annually in sales outside of Japan, as of 2003. Although mainly aimed at the pre-adolescent female market, the Hello Kitty product range goes all the way from purses, stickers and pen sets to toasters, televisions, clothing, massagers, and computer equipment. It has a cult-like following among adults as well, especially in Asia, where Hello Kitty adorns cars, purses, jewelry and many other high-end consumer products. Several Hello Kitty TV series, targeted towards young children, have also been produced. Examples of products depicting the character include dolls, stickers, greeting cards, clothes, accessories, school supplies, dishes and home appliances. Her fame has led her to the creation of two officially licensed theme parks, Harmonyland and the indoor Sanrio Puroland.

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viverridae" target="_blank">viverrids</a> are the most primitive family of feliforms. It's likely that the oldest common ancestor of dogs and cats appeared something like a viverrid. The name comes from the Latin word for ferret, though ferrets live on the canine side of the family tree.
