Implicating genet → mammal
Link to implication

Reason:

a genet is a mammal

I think that the implication is unnecessary since there's already an implication to feline, which then in turn implies mammal. The chain would go Genet -> Feline -> Mammal, and all the tags should be handled automatically. But, I'm not the most knowledgeable person on how the implication/alias system works under the hood, so that might not actually be the case.

Never mind me, I'm hallucinating. I'll go right back to my room with the cushy walls and the jacket that lets me hug myself all day.

Genet doesn't have any implications.

Genet is not currently implicated to anything.
And while the wiki had a link to feline, I just removed that bit since they're not felines.

Genets are in same family as civets and linsangs, and are collectively called viverrids. Since we don't have a tag for that, all three should be directly implicated to mammal.

Alternately, we could create a viverrid tag and implicate those to that, then viverrid to mammal. But I dunno how useful that tag would be.

Edit: All viverrid species combined, there's over 300 posts. They're more popular than I expected, so I suppose we should create a viverrid tag for those...? (civet -> viverrid -> mammal, etc.)

...there isn't an implication to feline. The wiki links to feline, but there's no implication to feline. (if there were, then yes the chain of implications would make this redundant, just fyi. So you're right about how the system would work, but it doesn't apply here since genet isn't implicated to anything yet) Although I'm not sure if an implication to feline would be accurate, I'm just not that familiar with the direct family tree on genets. Looking briefly at the wiki, doesn't seem like it's classed as a feline.

An implication to mammal would work though. So I'd agree with this implication.

ETA: looks like other people got those main points, so I'll just agree with Genjar.

Whoops! Was looking at the wrong thing when I said that. ♪Ignore me♪
