This page will be used for developing the Felidae cladogram.
Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that living (extant) felids fall into eight lineages (clades). [1] [2] [3] [4] In 2006, Johnson et al. presented the following cladogram (the genera shown are those included in the analysis): [2]

The placement of the cheetah within the Puma lineage invalidates the traditional subfamily Acinonychinae, and recent sources use only two subfamilies for extant genera. [1] The eight lineages divide between these as follows:
The last four lineages are more related to each other than to any of the first four, so form a clade within the Felinae subfamily of family Felidae. [2]
