The tag alias #60537 winged_cat -> domestic_cat has been approved.

Reason: To match winged_wolf -> wolf and winged_fox -> fox. A cat with wings is a cat.

I'd argue that cat should be unaliased as domestic cat, as there are many non-domestic types of cat - including the black-footed cat (Felis Nigripes), the most "lethal" feline.
But till I get my arse to actually argue that, I'll give this a ๐Ÿ‘

But a cat isn't always a domestic cat; lions, tigers, and panthers are also called cats, and a winged_cat can apply to them. Until topic #38387 can be done to change cat to feline or felid, this will just need to be undone with it. Better to alias to feline or felid instead.

I gave a look at this tag and there ain't many cats in there. Most of the posts are fluffy mlp ponies (not to be confused with fluffy_pony), the top post is Rainbow Dash. There are a few canine creatures also.

And this ain't a species, this is just cat + winged. Even if it was it should be aliased to hybrid, not domestic_cat.

It must be invalidated, it's useless.

Not sure if maybe other images previously had the tag and it was removed, but the current top post (post #4184056) is alternate species rainbow dash. If you actually open the post you can see she is in fact a cat. The really old post (post #425817) is also alternate species, they are cats, look at the noses and paws.

I'm not sure if we consider characters with non-standard wings to be hybrids by default, because there's other processes devine/demonic/magical/whatever, outside of hybridization that would cause a character to sprout/be born with wings,
