What are the Felidae (سنوريات)? And why we chose the name
سنوريات is the Arabic name of the cat family — from lions to house cats. The word behind our name, explained.
The cat family
Felidae — السنوريات in Arabic — is the biological family that contains every cat on Earth: the great cats (lions, tigers, leopards), the small wild cats, and the domestic cat itself. Every house cat is a true felid, sharing the family's retractable claws, night vision and hunter's grace.
The domestic cat is a felid
The domestic cat (القط الأليف) is the family's smallest famous member — the same anatomy and instincts as its wild cousins, in a companion that shares our homes. That is why the breeds, colours and genetics you explore here all trace back to one family tree.
Why we chose the name
We named the platform SANORIYAT — سنوريات — after the whole family, because our mission covers the whole world of cats: a lifelong identity for every cat, from documented pedigree kittens to rescued street cats. One family, one name, one home for it all.
