}}Felis attica is an extinct cat, of which the first fossil skull was excavated near Pikermi in Attica, Greece.[2]

Fossils were also excavated near the Moldovan city of Taraclia.[3]

F. attica was bigger in body size than a European wildcat but probably smaller than a serval. Due to size differences, it was proposed as type species for the genus Pristifelis proposed in 2012.[4]

Around 12 million years ago, the genus Felis evolved and eventually gave rise to many of the modern small cat species. Felis attica was a small lynx-like cat and one of the ancestors of the first modern Felis species, such as F. lunensis, which evolved around 2.5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch.[5]
