I've attached a annotated map of PL which lacked detail with small cats and needed updating with a few enclosures. (If it is in red, it means off-show)
Black Footed Cats- Male and female are fed around 4:30PM, but only the male usually comes out.
Scottish Wild Cats- You can only see 3 wild cats, which are up by base camp and they tend to be easy to see. They do have 2 more by elephant camp, and another behind the caracals but they are all off-show.
Indian Desert Cats- Unfortunately passed away, currently their enclosure has a Owston's banded palm civet.
Margay- Tricky to see. They have one very dense enclosure full of vegetation which is has a female, but on a sunny day she does like to come out and sit out on one of her favourite logs at the top of her enclosure. Also I remember seeing her a couple of times early in the morning (around 10:30) because I believe one of her keepers often clears out her indoor enclosure and she comes out then. Behind her cage, is another margay enclosure with kittens in it, if you walk off the path a little bit you may manage to get a glimpse of them.
Fishing Cats- Glass enclosure in-between lynx and red panda. They have another set of fishing cat enclosures at the start of carnivore territory but they are often harder to see.
Carpathian Lynx- Their lynx are often pretty easy to see, they have also had some cubs which are very active at the moment.
Caracal- They have 2 caracal in their enclosure by the lynx, I always see one which paces up and down on the left hand side of the cage.
Ocelot- They have a very well hidden ocelot enclosure opposite the lynx and caracal cages on the other side of the road. They have another ocelot enclosure next to the margays.
Rusty Spotted Cats- They have a small but dense enclosure in carnivore territory but I have never seen them in there, I always had better luck with them in their tall cage in the primate walk.
Clouded Leopard- The clouded leopard is often easy to see but their cage is set far far back from the public path on the primate walk and so getting a photo of them is nearly impossible.
Pallas Cat- They have 3 newly done enclosures which look really nice, they are more active late in the afternoon.
Hope it helps

but did manage to use my mobile phone camera and have a few decent shots that I shall upload along with selected ones from earlier when I get some time to do so ( back in work on Wednesday so might manage to fit in one or two more collections between now and then ...)
