Domestic Cat- Any normal house cat. There are many breeds, each of which unique in its own way. They love attention and affection. They are good at hunting small things like mice and small birds. They are fairly self-sufficient and can get what they need is it isn't provided to them. They are able to climb trees, but don't really like water.
Lion- What you would expect out of a normal lion. They aren't extremely common, but they are seen more often than the tigers. The males grow to be a bit larger than the females and of course have a large hairy mane. Lions can be extremely lazy, they love to sleep and lay around in the sun on a nice day.
Tiger- Tigers are more rare than the lions and are very regal creatures. They can be orange or white and all have the characteristic black stripes. They are very loyal and will protect their owner at any cost. They are very strong, not quite as strong as the lions, but are much more lean and agile, making them faster to compensate for the slight disadvantage in strength.
Cheetah- The fastest of all the cats. They are spotted and have a few black rings on the end of their tail.
Lynx- Bigger than domestic cats. They are usually gray and white with black spots and they have tuffts of fur on the tips of their ears.
Bobcat- Much like a lynx, but more brown and orange in color and have a longer tail and don't have the tuffts of fur.
Leopard- Smaller than tigers but more built than the lean cheetahs. They have circular ringed spots. There are two different types, a regular leopard (yellow/orange) and snow leopards (white).
Panther- About the same size as leopards and they are a deep black. Some may have black spots, but they are extrememly hard to see.
