Trivia?
There's a bar/pub/Karaoke place in Okinawa named Windie, using Arcanine's image on a sign. Just thought it if would be something worth putting up.

It seems silly to me. I've watched animé, never seen it meow. Furthermore I haven't seen it act at all like a cat. I've seen it act like a dog, but cat, no. This is ridicious. Why the hell is it part of that WikiProject? It makes no sense to me.

Probably because of the tiger-like stripes and lion-like mane. However, I agree that the Cats Wikiproject banner should be removed, as Arcanine still looks predominantly canine.

Um, not to mention the fact that proclaiming the article part of the Cat Wikiproject is essentially stating that Arcanine is, or has some properties of, a cat, which qualifies as original research, due to the fact that Nintendo has never released any type of description of Arcanine that attributes cat-like properties to it. --

Although small, there is undoubtably error in the statement "In other words, Arcanine is a cross between a dog and a liger." It is mentioned earlier in the article that Arcanine possesses markings and a build similar to that of a tiger, but that it also possesses a mane similar to that of male lion. While it may appear obvious that a liger could be used as an example instead of both a lion and a tiger, it simply can't. Ligers cannot possess a mane similar to that of a male lion, due to the fact that they are the hybrid offspring of a male tiger and a female lion, and they generally don't possess markings similar to those of a tiger. To take things a step further, a tigon, the hybrid offspring of a male lion a female tiger, may possess a mane similar, and stress similar, to that of a lion, and they may also possess markings similar to those of a tiger, making Arcanine more similar to a mix of a dog and a tigon. The best thing to do, though, would be to simply take out the statement. Anyone else have some thoughts on this? --
