Puppy cat → Dog-like cat – "Puppy cat" seems to be silly, cutesy slang-ish term used by some bloggers and Internet forum posters, and is not a good encyclopedic title, being potentially confusing. Our articles that link to this, e.g. Lykoi, seem to prefer the more encyclopedic wording "dog-like cat", and that is probably the better title, per WP:NDESC. I'm skeptical this concept has a provable WP:COMMONNAME. That said, I'm honestly also skeptical this is really an encyclopedic topic at all, and WP:AFD might be considered; but in the interim, it should be at a more sensible name. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 15:14, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- I vote we get rid of the Puppy cat article and merge some of its contents into Cat behavior! Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 15:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- I second Crunchydillpickle's suggestion. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:40, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
