Chill Dude 69Can't remember if I've posted this, here. Just like Worf can't remember a lot of stuff.
verity_kindleWasn’t there a bit of backfilling lore that Earth’s feline population died as a side effect of an biological weapon released during the eugenics wars? They couldn’t bring back the genus because of the ban on genetic engineering. That’s why Worf didn’t know the word.
…that would make Spot the rarest animal in the galaxy. Or he’s not a domestic cat at all…
gregorumi remember reading a reddit post several years back postulating that the most rational - and horrifying - explanation was that Spot was, in fact, several different cats in a series, all named “Spot”, representing Datas various failures in pet ownership, and that whenever we saw a “different” one, it was because the previous “Spot” had met some inglorious end off-screen.

Oh god. The first thing that came to mind was how many “feline supplement” variants Data had programmed into the replicator. The way they’re numbered implies that there were at 221 of them.
Maybe some of them were WAY TOO EXPERIMENTAL.
