When did this go away, and why? I have no idea how to look up black cats now. "Panther" corrects to "pantherine" which gives me everything but what I want. Now apparently I have to search 'jaguar', 'leopard', *and* 'black fur' just to find some of what i'm looking for and, still, a bunch of what i'm not.

I love that super simple and intuitive things just have to be taken away.

The tag you're looking for is melanistic.

In terms of taxonomy a panther is any member of the Panthera genus, including lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. What is commonly referred to as a panther is a jaguar or leopard with black fur. We prefer that characters be tagged with their species not an ambiguous term like panther.
