I think there's overlap here, and that these two categories should be merged. --Rossumcapek 18:09, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Keep both. There is a big difference between a "breed" and a "type". Breeds are recognized by cat clubs (or working on being recognized) and types are general categorizations by color, coat type, etc. [[User:Lachatdelarue|Lachatdelarue (talk)]] 20:35, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Leave as is. What Lachatdelarue said. Just look at what's there--types are not breeds. For a similar model, see Category:Dog breeds and Category:Dog types. Elf | Talk 21:24, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Keep both. Even if there is occasional overlap (there is with dogs, not sure whether there is with cats) a type and a breed are still different things and merging would be confusing the subject. -- sannse (talk) 10:53, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Keep both. As the others have said, there is a distinction. Some examples to illustrate: Shorthaired cat=type. Domestic shorthair=type. British Shorthair/American Shorthair=breeds. Feral cat=distinct type, not a breed, contains shorthairs and longhairs. Calimanco cat=a coat colour which is also a type because of sex linkage. Calimanco cats may be found in longhairs, shorthairs, purebreds, mongrels and ferals. Quill 22:18, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Good points all around. Thanks, yall. --Rossumcapek 02:43, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Caracal[edit]

I didn't see the Caracal on the list. One just mauled a woman and her child in the US state of Illinois.Longinus876 (talk) 12:05, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
