In common conversation, "feline animals" would be all the members of the cat family; cats, lynxes, leopards, tigers, lions, jaguars, cheetahs etc etc etc.

However, if you talk to scientists, "felines" are exclusively the cats belonging to subfamily Felinae, which include most small-sized species such as cat, bobcat, lynx, serval, etc, whereas the big cats (tiger, lion, leopard, snow leopard, jaguar and clouded leopard) are known as "pantherines".
