I want one image of a leopard, one image of a tiger, etc., all the cats except the lion and housecat. what exactly do you enter google search to get that? I am thinking that doesn’t seem possible because how would google decide which image to pick? but maybe it is possible

Google Leopard, find image.
Google Tiger, find image.
Google Panther (whatever), find image.
Am I missing something?

You have 22,000,000 images for leopard. I want one image per cat, but in one shot, except the lion and housecat. So that way I will have them all in one page.
I think I see what you’re saying… maybe??? There’s no possible way to get single shots of 20 different cats all on the same page when you’re searching for photos.
The only way to do that is to search each cat individually, save your favorite shot to your personal album (photobucket, snapfish, whatever) and then you’ll have all the individual cats grouped together in your own album.
Feline species does not exclude lions and housecats and it is not one image per.

On top of that they have cat woman there too (I guess that is a glitch?)
You are right, @flo , that wasn’t very helpful…,
Among the images that don’t make sense to me.

^^They have feline treatments, and probably listed search tabs for “feline” and “cat” as search tabs for that page.
How about this (search: collage feline)? As mentioned above, it would be much simpler to make your own. It might be helpful if you explained what you need it for. Also, it’s scary how many people out there refer to the many housecat breeds as species. Wow.
@flo Check out advanced image search but even there, I don’t know that you can find a way to specify a single felline of each kind except cat and lion. You probably are stuck running a search for a list of species you do want and picking from that.
@WillWorkForChocolate, feline treatment? I’m thinking about it.
@ETpro I thought it must be my lack of skill. Re. …running a search for a list of species you do want I want all of them, and it would take too long to go one by one. what would you enter in the box/es?
@dappled_leaves There are too many of them that are missing, also I wanted a full image of each one, as in what you would find in an encylopedia.
I went to Brittanica I don’t see “Images”, why?. I entered “feline cats” and I got
this I don’t know why only those are chosen.
These are the species in the cat family.
When you do an image search, you will inevitably find that many results are not exactly what you are looking for, and some will seem completely unrelated. When you do a Google web search, and choose the “cached” option on a result, it shows you exactly where your search terms appear up on that page – so it’s easy to see why that page was selected as a result for your search. However, sometimes your search terms don’t actually show up on that page, but on related or linked pages.
Here is an example. I searched for “feline species” and one of the top results was the Wikipedia page for Felidae. The word “feline” does not appear in this page (since this is the cached version, it says so in the grey bar at the top). However, some pages that are linked to this one do contain the word “feline” (or that word is used as a search tab as @WillWorkForChocolate mentioned), so this page still turns up as a result of the search for “feline species”.
That’s just how Google works. The same thing occurs with with image results (though you don’t have the option of seeing a cached version). I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
@dappled_leaves It complicated. Re. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I was trying to just perform a simple task.
@flo I was thinking of entering all the species you want into a single image search, not running them one by one. Play with it. 10 keywords at a time might provide search results where you can quickly grab 10 good images, then paste the next 10 in and run them. That’s probably less work than running the entire clade :-)
