cat_humanoid doesn't imply domestic_cat, but it does imply feline_humanoid and feline. bee_humanoid implies hymenopteran_humanoid and hymenopteran, so if anything, this is introducing an inconsistency.

I had thought of cat_humanoid as an exception or a missing implication rather than the rule for animal_humanoid tags, as several other similar arthropod_humanoid tags do have such an implication (mantis_humanoid, cockroach_humanoid, shrimp_humanoid, hermit_crab_humanoid).

However, looking through the various animal_humanoid tags I'm starting to see that most animal_humanoid tags don't have these kinds of implications (with the exception of fictional species like western_dragon_humanoid and gryphon_humanoid). I'm wondering if there's a practical reason (such as search problems) for not using these kinds of implications, since they seem like they would be useful for accurately tagging and searching for posts.
