Really? REALLY?!?!?

@BMason3604 It may be close but is not saying that at all. Say they are not cast is stating something that they are not. Saying they are not REALLY cats is stating that it is not necessarily just that.

@MrNosfaratu

"nor are they really cats," I think this is close to "they are not cats."

[MrNosfaratu]

@BMason3604 I told you. Before the definition of the word is can be used it depends on the context, and what use it will provide. This time it is suitable. I told you, I NEVER SAID THEY ARE NOT CATS. I keep repeating this, yet you keep asking the same question. I can only gather you are probably some person who needs a pat on the back and a good for you. We think you are a kick in the pants and are so right. The reason why it is the best I got, is because it is the best in this situation.

@MrNosfaratu

Yes, normally cat means domesticated cat. That doesn't change the fact that cat can also mean panther.

Tell me why the statement "panthers are cats" is wrong? I have typed a bunch of reasons why it is a correct statement, but the best you have is "English language ...cat is a very suitable term for the domesticated cat."

Wow...

[MrNosfaratu]

@BMason3604 You said in context you have to use the best term to express what one is trying to communicate. Whether you are blind and do not notice that "cat" means no more no less, a small domesticated cat than what you have described. I told you, I never denied saying that Panthers are not cats. Just in this situation, cats was used to describe the small cat. As I said before if "cat" was used as a broad term you could fairly assume some people have domesticated a lion or panther.

@MrNosfaratu

Linguistically not cats?

I gave you layman's terms: Panthers are "big cats", big cats are "cats".

I gave you scientific terms: Panthers are felids, felids are cats.

I gave you proof by it's definition: dictionary com: 1b cats are any member of felidae family.

Show me anywhere of anyone claiming that a leopard isn't a cat? All you have is "when I say cat, I mean domesticated cat, therefore, that is the only thing a cat can be, not a panther."

[MrNosfaratu]

@BMason3604 Perhaps that was not the right word to use. My original intention was to state that you have tried to quote me but worked around my actual quote to better your argument. Which was not fair. I have given you the courtesy of using your actual words and logic without warping it to work better for me.

[MrNosfaratu]

@BMason3604 It isn't even that. There is not English term for Felidae, or as you said it would be "cat". That is what this was about. If you want to delve deeper into technicality then go ahead. You can use what ever sources terms you want. It does not change the way that the word "cat" was originally used to describe the panther in this video. Yes technicality says it is a cat. Yet in what the English language entails, and the culture, cat is a very suitable term for the domesticated cat.

"You re wrote my words. You can't paraphrase someone if you can't use their exact words."

Ok, that is funny!

Do you know what paraphrase means? Paraphrase is where you take a quote, and restate it, but use different words. I have to rewrite words if I paraphrase something, if not, I would just be quoting you...
