I'd call this clear by X.2. as there has been no evidence that canines
and felines were ever considered variants of one another in period
armory nor used interchangeably, and the SCA has consistently given
substantial difference between canine and felines.

Now, as for the CD count, go re-read X.4.h. and X.4.i. again and
figure out whether there's difference or not. :)
