Redirecting searches here on Wikipedia and partitioned skull?[edit]

Hi, I'm a bit new to this, so I hope I can explain what I'm asking about right. ^^; I've known this cat by 'Andean Highland Cat' as well as just 'Mountain Cat' or 'Andean Mountain Cat' like was mentioned in the article, along with the 'Andean Cat' name used. All of these names bring up the same cat in a google search. Is there any way it can be made so some or all of these searches will redirect to this page? It was kind of difficult to find this, because searches for 'Andean Highland Cat' and 'Mountain Cat' didn't bring me to a specific article, it just gave similar ones (that this one was in.) I think since the names are used interchangably, that it might be good to redirect to here.

The second thing I was wondering about was that in a book I own, where I first found out about the Andean Highland Cat, it mentioned "From anatomical evidence, we discover it has a unique skull--apparently two skulls partitioned by a thin membrane." (From 'The Complete Kitten & Cat Book' by Norman H. Johnson, D.V.M. with Saul Galin, copyright 1979 published 1993 by First Galahad Books.) The Andean Highland Cat is mentioned on page 316. I haven't found any mention of this information about the skull elsewhere, so I'm not sure it's entirely factual; any idea, and should a mention of it be included in the article? - Indy Gold 17:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Binomial name of Andean cat[edit]

In 1865 the Italian scientist Emilio Cornalia described the Andean cat and dubbed it Leopardus jacobita in honor of Jacobita Mantegazza. It appears that Leopardus jacobitus is an error introduced by third edition of Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference edited by Don E. Wilson and DeeAnn M. Reeder (2005). Prior to this, the Andean cat was always known as jacobita. RastaKins (talk) 20:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the Andean Cat page[edit]

Feb 2009 - I became involved with Jim Sanderson and the SCCA about a year ago after reading an article in Readers' Digest on his work. I am attempting to update the page in accordance with his writings and the WCN, IUCN, and SCCA websites. Phil Knight, I am confused as to why you are undoing some of my edits as I have sourced about all of them. UsryTregre
