This says "it leads to the extinction of bird, mammal, and reptile species". Shouldn't it be THE bird mammal and reptile species?
This term stands for several species of birds, reptiles and mammals. To use "the", one would need to clarify which bird, mammal and reptile species went extinct - obviously, it's not referring to all such species. beforeAdapter (talk · contribs) 2022-03-20T17:22Z
Jan 2024 Edit request to include pussy and Tom[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Needs mention of the terms "pussy" and "tom" which are the correct terms of gender for the domestic cat according to most veterinary literature. 2600:8804:6F07:F300:C817:162A:D39F:6C14 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Requesting for more black cat representation.[edit]
Greetings. Looking at this page, I have noticed a peturbingly small ratio of black cats compared to other. They only have 3 images throughout the whole article.
As an owner of a black cat myself, I am well aware that black cats are frequently forgotten, being the least likely cat to get adopted at shelters. I humbly request for either myself or someone else to add more photos of black cats. I have one myself if needed. Thank you for your time. MSMno1fan (talk) 10:47, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article isn't meant to show every single cat coat colour. There's no silver tabby for example. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While that may be true, black cats make up a large chunk of the population, and the representation they get genuinely feels paltry. MSMno1fan (talk) 11:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't about representation. There's currently no video of a cat walking on a very small surface like a fence. If you have a video of a black cat doing that you can upload it, of course if you have a non-black cat doing that it should be uploaded too. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also if you take a look at the black cat article you will see that the less likely to be adopted thing is just a myth. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
