Domestic cat (Felis catus)

The cat infobox on the right is generated by {{Infobox cat breed}}. Documentation is contained on the template page. Note that some articles still use a non-templated infobox, which can be recognized by its thick gray borders. The template allows for the inclusion of a picture and caption, common names, nicknames, country of origin and links to breed standards of major registries. Other smaller organizations with separate breed standards can be included in "Others" if appropriate. Articles about non domestic felines should use Template:Taxobox. Important: Do not falsely label landraces or other non-breeds as formal breeds; doing so fails several policies, including WP:Verifiability, WP:No original research and WP:Neutral point of view, as well as WP:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. If there isn't a breed standard, it's not a breed, even if some fancier organizations permit the type (or mix) to be shown, e.g. in a "Household Pet" or "Any Other Category" division. For an example of how to handle specific landraces, see Van cat, and of broader types, see Domestic short-haired cat.

Other infoboxes

• Articles about felid taxa should use {{Automatic taxobox}}, {{Speciesbox}}, or {{Subspeciesbox}} as appropriate.
• Articles about individual cats should use {{Infobox animal}}
