Best Answer

A cat is a feline, a dog is a canine- they split from their common ancestor quite a (long) while ago and have changed even more through domestication and evolution. So no, cats are (no longer) a part of the dog family.

Cats are felids, or felines, and belong to the Family, Felidae.

Dogs are canids, or canines, and belong to the Family, Canidae.
