Technically, 'shadowcat' is the term for a wild alynx, but I suspect that in everyday Heortling usage, the terms are interchangeable.

Not only do they exist and have stats in Anaxial, but they have an actual
myth in that book, too. In the likely event that AR has not been published by
the time of Convulsion, I will recount said myth at the Storytelling thingy
on Sunday night (assuming a similar schedule for the Con as previous years).
The myth has been approved by Greg, so the existence of Gloranthan housecats
is as official as one could want.
IMO, however, the Heortlings do not themselves have housecats, as they have moggy-sized alynxes to hunt mice for them instead.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
