"Feliformia (also Feloidea) is the name of a suborder within the order Carnivora consisting of \"cat-like\" carnivorans, including cats (large and small), hyenas, mongooses, civets, and related taxa. Feliformia stands in contrast to the other suborder of Carnivora, Caniformia (\"dog-like\" carnivorans).The separation of the Carnivora into the broad groups of feliforms and caniforms is widely accepted, as is the definition of Feliformia and Caniformia as suborders (sometimes superfamilies)."@en . . .
