Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): mk_lab

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

feline practitioner

Похоже, "фелинолог" - это нашенское изобретение от
feline = животное из семейства кошачьих.

Американцы называют их так:
... The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) is a professional organization
of veterinarians who share an interest in providing excellence in the ...

Кстати, я до сих пор тоже никогда не слышал слова фелинолог. И никакой ассоциации с котами, оно у меня не вызывает

М.б. (проще и понятнее для народа) будет: feline (cat) fancier (fan, lover)

felinologist

I had never heard of this word, but yes, it does exist, see refs.

Ref. 2:

Yes. Not in my Oxford English dictionary either. A comparatively recent invention, I should think.

a feline expert

I would go for this, because 'felinologist' is rather a trange word occuring mnostly in Russian sites, while 'a feline practitioner' is a vet who specialises in cats.

Feline experts (some of them are also feline practitioners), on the other hand, are also very well aware of breeds, breed requirements, feline behaviour, specifics of trainings of cats, they are judges at cat shows, etc.
