No they are not. Cats are Felis. Tigers are Panthera.
The situation with the family Felidae is exactly analogous to the one with Ursidae
Plus, on a thread that puports to be discussing science, at least a tiny bit of accuracy helps.
One might hope so, but you can't build accuracy on the foundations of Hamboy's AiG
You’re right and I’m out of date. (Felis is a former genus name, I should have known to check. Right now I’m updating a list of plant names and keep getting surprised at changed I never expected. Fungi are worse).
Note though, that I hedged my bet and never called them cats.
And the basic point stands. Would you call a pear a rose?
There is a creationist notion of baramin which seems to mean whatever level of grouping is convenient. Slopping around with families, genera and “kinds” just plays into that.
