Species list - a list of all 36 living cat species

I’ve divided the cats into 3 groups based on body mass. This is purely
artificial for several reasons:  male cats often weigh more than females,
some species such as the puma are larger and heavier in colder climates,
and some island cats differ in size from their mainland counterparts.
Nevertheless, there seems to be a correlation between the body size of the
cat and the amount of money and hence conservation effort that is spent
on them.
