    saber-toothed cats are actually an entirely different lineage from what are called conical-toothed cats, that diverged about 20 million years ago. all saber-toothed cats are extinct, and all extant cats are conical-toothed, and descended from conical-toothed ancestors; there are no living cats descended from saber-toothed cats
