Confusing question.
There ARE transitional fossils, but you won't find creatures with the head of a cat and the body of a lion because the two animals do not represent different events in an evolutionary chain.
Take a look at this

Creatures like archeoptryx are the "in-between" creatures you are looking for.

Firstly, let me note that evolution is now proved -- it is a fact, not a theory. Critics have often proposed the "lack of intermediate forms" as an attack on evolution, but these critics are ignorant of how it works: the genetic information is stored in digital, not analog, form, so there is a minimum change that can take place by altering one bit of the genetic code. But there is NO MAXIMUM: a one-bit change can activate an intron (or disable all or part of an exon), causing an arbitrarily large change in the genetics of an organism. Most such changes are either adverse or innocuous, but some provide survival value, and progress is made.

I have answered questions like yours often. What exactly do you mean by a transitional species? Are you confusing species and genus? What is a horse What is a Donkey, what is a mule? How many varieties of corn are there? How many are able to be crossed and be fertile. How many can be crossed to create hybrid corn. how many corn hybrids are infertile? Where is the common ancesto of all these strains of corn. It is known when it existed and we can trace as far back as four roiw corn but there is no original wild corn to find. Why is your religion putting so much effort into denying the possibility that Science is right on this one. Is your religion, the Jewish Religion or Christianity going to fall apart if evolution is a fact?

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd. Evolution has a great deal of proof behind it and I am more willing to entertain that explanation than God Theory, which has nothing to support it that can be called evidence. GOD THEORY - The accumulated myths and superstitions of your ancestors which have been dogmatized, institutionalized and mounded into the colossal pile of crap you call ultimate truth.

i dont really uderstand your question.
there are plenty of intermediary fossils.
as for the body of a lion with the head of a cat...there IS an intermediary fossil between them but that animal most likely lived many years before (many MANY years). i think youre thinking of cross-intermediary fossils...which dont exist...and i just made that term up.

Ahmad! Stop referring to Quran for Scientific details. Use a Science Encyclopeadia instead. Quran sucks when it comes to science!

not sure I agree with your premise. Why can't I see them as complex organisms. Complex organisms can and do exist in the world.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't believe in god. What does that have to do with fossils?
