These animals exhibit a fundamental likeness, which, to employ a musical analogy, is the "theme" of "cat-ness," and they are so many variations of this theme. The members of another tribe of the familiar carnivora display in their own way the same kind of evidences of relationship.
Nevertheless the principle which states that resemblance means consanguinity still holds true, for cellular constitution is a unique possession of things of the living world, something which demonstrates the common origin of all living things just as truly as the "cat-ness" of our first series of examples reveals for a smaller group the significance of likeness and the nature of the basic law of comparative anatomy.
It is, in a word, their "cat-ness" which demonstrates their relationships. But common sense need not stop here. Guided by the facts of anatomical similarity, it convinces us that the dun-colored lion and puma, the striped tiger and the spotted leopard are simply cats of a larger growth whose remoter ancestry is one with that of the previously cited forms.
