I just finished writing a paper for my evolution class on felid craniodental morphology, and it feels like that paper took as long to write as it did for the Felidae family to evolve. While writing I was reminded of your amazing esoteric biology jokes, so I stopped by to ask: Do you have any extremely niche Felidae memes that you've made? (also, I learned today that the sand cat's scientific name is Felis margarita, and it brings me immense joy for some reason. I am now picturing a sand cat lapping up a margarita with its little tongue.)

Sounds like an interesting paper, congrats on getting it done! I’m thrilled to know someone other than myself appreciates the esoteric biology jokes. I don’t know about extremely niche but I did make this one for a friend in the big cat world.

And now thanks to you I’m going to think about sand cats whenever I have a margarita. I love it! What an excellent fun fact and even better mental image
