The Felinae are a subfamily of the familyFelidae. This subfamily comprises the small cats having a bony hyoid, because of which they are able to purr but not roar.Other authors have proposed an alternative definition for this subfamily, as comprising only the living conical-toothed cat genera with two tribes, the Felini and Pantherini, and excluding the extinct sabre-toothed Machairodontinae.
