	WHAT IS A SMALL CAT? Small, Medium and Large... Very broadly speaking small cats are the wild cats that weigh less than 30kgs. In Africa the 3 big cats are lion, leopard and cheetah, and the other 7 species are all referred to as small cats. Some of the larger small cats are sometimes described as medium sized cats, such as the caracal and serval. However one does not generally use the term 'medium cats' - they are either 'big cats' or 'small cats'!
