We need an image that would be fitting for Cat lover culture. Can anyone help? Thanks. Karl Twist (talk) 14:05, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cat lover cultureCat culture – I think this article still suffers from some of the issues raised in last year's AfD. We might start with the title. Per WP:NDESC, we're allowed to make up descriptive titles, but this one is barely attested outside Wikipedia and its mirrors, so why not go with the more concise version that's actually used in the body of the article, and at least some of its references? We might also consider usurping Cat fancy, which currently redirects to Animal fancy. Restructing this article thus could help address some of those issues. "Cat culture" might draw the objection that it implies animal culture in the context of cats, but there doesn't seem to be much on that, and the phrase already redirects here. --BDD (talk) 16:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC) Relisting. Anarchyte (talk | work) 12:23, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cat cultureCat fancy – Per WP:COMMONNAME [1], and WP:PRECISE ("cat culture" implies animal culture of cats, which is potentially an actual encyclopedia article subject judging from some of the documentaries I've seen), and perhaps also WP:RECOGNIZABLE, since "cat culture" doesn't seem to be a term in broad use in the first place.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  23:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a "History" section

[edit]

We need to cover the early historical material (prominent position of cats in ancient Egypt, etc.), briefly, perhaps some on the giving of cats at royal gifts in the medieval era, then get into the origins of the modern cat fancy, with the first cat shows organized at Crystal Palace, the first books on cat breeding, the establishment of Cat Fanciers' Association and GCCF, then later other organizations. Should probably also cover cat-devoted magazines like Cat Fancy and Catster and their supplanting by websites.

PS: Some of the material that is presently in the article may be too trivial in vein of random pop-culture references for us to retain it. E.g., short-term housing of two cats in an apartment rented for them in California is probably not encyclopedic information.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  02:29, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the word ailurophile

[edit]

The word ailurophile means a cat lover, or cat fancier. I think this word and its definition would fit this article, but I don't know how...
