The version Mountain Lion had been announced in (I believe) February of that year, so he would have known about the name. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.84|108.162.216.84]] 03:40, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

:I personally interpreted "the OSX problem" as them increasingly struggling to find cat names for their releases which top the previous names in some way. The first three releases were clearly moving up the scale of "which would win in a fight". The fourth takes a step backwards in "would win in a fight" but moves forward in "coolness of name". Then we see a step up in both scales. Then a double step back in coolness of name. Then further progress on coolness of name before finally taking steps backwards in BOTH "coolness of name" and "would win in a fight". -- plugwash
 
 
One other problem: cheetahs are the fastest animal on earth. 10.0 Cheetah was SLOW.[[Special:Contributions/173.245.50.174|173.245.50.174]] 18:15, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 
 
The next versions of the OS X were named "Mavericks", "Yosemite" and "El Capitan". No more cats indeed. :-( [[Special:Contributions/162.158.102.231|162.158.102.231]] 09:42, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Really have to disagree with the coolness of the name sort results in this comic. I'd rank them probably as: Lion < Snow Leopard < Leopard < Tiger < Jaguar [[User:Zorlax the Mighty|Zorlax the Mighty&#39;); DROP TABLE users;--]] ([[User talk:Zorlax the Mighty|talk]]) 17:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 
 
"Panther" is an ill-defined term, not only referring to the puma species but large black cats in general (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther ) [[Special:Contributions/172.68.79.81|172.68.79.81]] 20:05, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
 
 
 
:You can use <nowiki>{{w|Panther</nowiki> to put {{w|Panther}} [[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.243|162.158.74.243]] 02:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I think, the Revolver Ocelot meme made Ocelot cooler, than Cheetah. If you swap those two, you get a route to housecat and lynx. Problem solved.[[Special:Contributions/172.68.10.172|172.68.10.172]] 04:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Whoever called it a mountain "lion" has obviously never seen a real lion. Lions are enormous animals, that tiny felid isn't worthy of the name "lion". [[User:The Cat Lady|-- The Cat Lady]] ([[User talk:The Cat Lady|talk]]) 09:50, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
