What is taxonomic classification?

Linnaean system of classification consists of a hierarchy of groupings called taxon. Each taxon is arranged in a hierarchical order.

The hierarchical arrangement of the taxon are as follows:

1. Kingdom
2. Phylum/Division
3. Class
4. Order
5. Family
6. Genus
7. Species

These taxa are arranged from the most inclusive to the most exclusive i.e. members of the same species are the most closely related in that order.

This suggests that Felis catus and Panthera pardalis are the most closely related because they belong to the same family.
