Yes, I do believe that all cats big and small are of the same Species or original created Kind. Therefore I can't use your nomenclature.
No you don't believe that.
You can't believe that because that is not what a species is. You are not allowed to use scientific names to mean anything that you choose them to mean.
When you need to use a term that means what you want to believe rather than how science describes it, you have to make up a non-scientific word; like kind.
I suggest you adopt the nomenclature used here:
folk.universitetetioslo.no
In Life*, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist.
On the other hand, the world is littererd with thousands of spare words which spend their time doing nothing but loafing about on signposts pointing at places.
Our job, as wee see it, is to get these words dow off the signposts and into the mouths of babes and sucklings and so on, where they can start earning their keep in everyday conversation and make a more positive contribution to society.
