The cats are grouped according to the five geopolitical regions in which they occur:

Sub-Saharan Africa
North Africa and Southwest Asia
Tropical Asia
Eurasia
the Americas

There are no cats (other than domestic) in Australasia and Oceania.
Some cats occur in more than one region. Where there is sufficient information, an account has been written for each region in which a species occurs (cheetah, caracal, wildcat, lion, and leopard); otherwise, a single species account is included under the region with which the species is most strongly associated.

Each regional chapter opens with a table which ranks the vulnerability of the species occurring in the region. Species Accounts are presented in that order. This introduction explains the structure of the Species Accounts and the ranking of species vulnerabilty
