That there is no such thing as "house cats". I've lived with these creatures for 20 years, and I've encountered house tigers, house lions, house leopards, house panthers, house jaguars, house cheetahs, and house cougars. They stalk, hunt, kill, fight, defend territory, mate, raise young, and act just like their larger cousins. Their only differences are their size and their relationships to their human serfs.

"God made the cat, in order that humankind might have the pleasure of caressing the tiger."
