Iriomote cat was created in 1967.
Two of the eleven known subspecies of leopard cat are listed as endangered: The Iriomote cat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis), found only on the Japanese island of Iriomote, and the Indian leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis bengalensis), found in India, Bangladesh, Yunnan, and throughout the southeastern Asian mainland. There are believed to be less than 100 Iriomote cats left in the wild. Indian leopard cat population estimates are currently unavailable.

The Prionailurus Iriomotensis (Iriomote cat) is not found on the IUCN red list of theatened species though they should be. However, they are critically endangered due to their small number left. Less than 100 remain on the Iriomote island in Japan( only place they are found). They also seem to be breeding with feral cats which is causing dilution of their gene pool. They have protected territories on the island but stray out and get hunted and eated by humans:(
Tigers are an endangered cat from India.

No. But the tiger is endangered.
There is probably 10% of home cats in the wild and I think the most endangered is the lynx. Additional Info: The US Fish and Wildlife Service show on the Endangered Species List the, Andean Mountain Cat, Asian Golden Cat (Temmnick's), Black-footed Cat, Flat-headed Cat, Iriomote Cat, Leopard Cat, Marbled Cat, Pakistan Sand Cat, Oncilla, Snow Leopard, Clouded Leopard, Spanish Lynx, Canada Lynx, Asiatic Lion, Leopard, and the Cheetah. The IUCN Red List has many more listed, if you would like more details see sites listed. The IUCN has a listing for wild cats "Felis silvestris", so they are being studied, but they aren't considered endangered now. The population is breeding out side their range with domestic breeds, therefore there is some concern about the "pure" wild cat. But as of 2008 they were ranked as "least concern", but the research indicates that there is a good chance of re-evaluation to threatened.
