That's what I was trying to point out, Mikey. The extra set of limbs alone excludes chakats from being related to felines in any close way. As does the extra set of sex organs. As does the skeleton. As does the internal organs.

Basicaly, shi can say they're felines all shi wants, but they most certainly aren't.

Then what would you call them?

I meant higher then that, with classifications and what not. Like, canine, feline, bovine, cervine, ect.

They'd have their own. Really, the closest they could get to modern terrestrial species would be Class Mammalia. After that, they've have their own series of classifications.

Yeah, there's no real analog at anything more specific than the "order" taxonomy.

I can pretty much guarantee you, first time Doc pushes down on a gun I have as I'm about to shoot the Master/Davros/Dalek/Rani/Meddling Monk, I'd clock him with the gun and then re-aim.

While common sense would say that you're in the right he does have a pretty good track record on success when not using guns.

Yeah, but how often to innocent people get deaded because the Doctor feels the need to give his enemys a warning?

Which is why I wouldn't bother with pausing, but simply firing, waiting for the regeneration to kick in, then fire again, reload when necessary, and then douse with petrol and strike a match.

Sniper 2 : "Get back. Or he'll use the gun."

The Doctor : "Yes, I imagine he will. You like guns, don't you?"

Sniper 1 : "This is a specialised weapon. It's designed for roof duty. Designed for long range. I've never used one up close before."

Sniper 2 : "Let him go."

Sniper 1 : "No."

The Doctor : "No. In fact... let him come a little closer."

Sniper 1 : "Stay where you are."

The Doctor : "Why? Scared? Why should you be scared? You're the one with the gun."

Sniper 1 : "That's right."

The Doctor : "And you like guns, don't you?"

Sniper 2 : "He'll kill you."

The Doctor : "Of course he will. That's what guns are for. Pull a trigger. End a life. Simple, isn't it?'"

Sniper 1 : Yes.

The Doctor : "Makes sense, doesn't it?"

Sniper 1 : "Yes."

The Doctor : "A life, killing life."

Sniper 2 : "Who are you?"

The Doctor : "Shut up. Why don't you do it then? Look me in the eye. Pull the trigger. End my life."

Sniper 1 : "No."

The Doctor : "Why not?"

Sniper 1 : "I can't."

The Doctor : "Why not?"

Sniper 1 : "I don't know."

The Doctor : "You don't, do you. Throw away your gun."

One of the best scenes in DW, old or new. The simple words can't convey the tension, or the brilliance, of that scene.
