There are many websites on big cats and these can easily be found via Google searches. The term ‘big cats’, especially in the US and UK, often simply refers to wild cats of any size, as opposed to domestic cats.  So there may also be information on ‘small cats’ on many of the ‘big cat’ websites.  The term ‘great cats’ is now being used to distinguish the larger wild cats from the smaller ones.
