The term isn't ambiguous as, while we use might "cat" when discussing the whole cat family, this meaning would be clear from the context; we wouldn't use cat to refer to all cats without such qualifying context. I don't think house cat should be in that opening sentence as house cat refers to something more specific and excludes many of the species. — <span style="white-space: nowrap;font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;"> <a href="/wiki/User:Jts1882" title="User:Jts1882">Jts1882</a> |<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jts1882" title="User talk:Jts1882"> talk</a> </span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cat#c-Jts1882-20240611062100-GogoLion-20240611051800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jts1882-20240611062100-GogoLion-20240611051800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240611062100","author":"Jts1882","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Jts1882-20240611062100-GogoLion-20240611051800","replies":["c-GogoLion-20240902043800-Jts1882-20240611062100","c-BhagyaMani-20240902081500-Jts1882-20240611062100"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jts1882-20240611062100-GogoLion-20240611051800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-GogoLion-20240902043800-Jts1882-20240611062100"></span>Of course this is ambiguous!
