Cat

I've listed this article for peer review because…it was demoted from FA status to B Class. I feel that improvements have been made since March, and that it should be relisted as a featured article. I just wanted to see what others think before I do that.

Thanks,

One thing you need to do is to reference the feral cat section. Also you need to shorten the article. One suggestion I have is to focus on what makes domestic cats different from other felines. If all felines are carnivores don't spend a great deal of detail describing how the house cat has a mouth adapted for eating meat. Move the details that hold true of all felines to the Felidae article and concentrate on how this species is unique within it's biological family. Don't compare this species physically to dogs but too other felines. It would be appropriate to compare this animal to dogs in the "Interaction with humans" section but not in the more general areas of the article.--BirgitteSB 20:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Need to combine stubby paras and there should be alot more refs. Try alternating the images left/right down the page for a more pleasant layout. I'd put the taxonomy and etymology sections up top like other animal FAs. It is a monster article. Good luck. Can be tricky where to draw the line - I just nominated lion successfully but it was probably at its maximum prose size..cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
