 * Felisgender: Subset of feligender in which the user feels connected to cat species under the genus felis. [Note: There is a pre-existing term also under the name Felisgender. This gender could also be considered to be under the Felinus System, since it is connected to cats, but it does not specify the genus felis, and thus is different.]
