Felis attica is an extinct felid of the subfamily Felinae. Around 12 million years ago, the genus Felis appeared and eventually gave rise to many of the modern small cats. Felis attica was a small lynx-like cat, and was one of the ancestors of the first modern Felis species, such as F. lunensis (Martelli's cat), which appeared around 2.5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch. Fossil specimens of F. attica have been recovered in western Eurasia.[2] Fossil evidence suggests that F. attica was among the smallest of the Miocene Felinae: about the size of the modern bobcat (Lynx rufus), but with a longer profile.[3] It was made the type species of a separate genus, Pristifelis, by Salesa et al. (2012).[4]
