Ancient Cats to Modern Day Cats
by KittyKondo.com

About 35 million years ago an ancient species of cat known as "Proailurus" walked the earth. Proailurus is the cat from which all present-day cats trace their lineage. It had all the same traits that make cats superb predators: stabbing teeth, powerful jaws, agile and flexible bodies and excellent binocular vision.
   Today, we divide cats into three categories today. Big Cats which include lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. Medium-size cats are the wild mountain cats like the lynx and pumas that are able to hunt and kill large prey 7 times their size. And ofcourse, the small cats who weigh in under 40 lbs that can hunt the smaller prey, like rodents.
