felidéznik

Felidéznik is a proposed taxonomic family name that has been used in some older classifications of mammals. This family was intended to encompass all members of the cat family, Felidae. The term felidéznik is not widely accepted in modern zoology and is generally considered obsolete. Current scientific consensus classifies the cat family as Felidae, which is a well-established and universally recognized taxonomic unit. The use of felidéznik may stem from historical linguistic variations or attempts to create distinct family-level groupings within the order Carnivora. However, with the advancement of genetic and morphological studies, the Felidae family, as it is currently understood, remains the standard for categorizing cats and their close relatives.
