If there are any other cat fanatics like me out there, you may be interested to learn about CAT NEWS, a magazine published twice a year by the IUCN Cat Specialist Group. It contains the latest news and sightings of wild cats - I mean unusual sightings, like new location for pallas cat in India, NOT things like a tourist saw a lion in the Serengeti. It also has short articles from cat field biologists listing their findings.

Although it mainly pertains to cats in the wild, they do occasionally list captive/zoo issues when they are pertinent. For example, the new issue (#50) has an update on the iberian lynx breeding program. It is a bit expensive, $50 a year in U.S. dollars, but worth it for true cat lovers. Here's a link if you are interested in subscribing (click on the banner that says "Cat News"): IUCN / SSC Cat Specialist Group Web Portal
 
Is there any news as to when the IUCN Cat Specialist Group website (Cat Species Information) will be updated with the promised new information?
 
No, but the magazine and website are run by a working couple in their spare time, so I wouldn't count on anything soon. I think it has said "update coming" for years.
