To be fair, Canidae (it amazes me that 90+ percent of vets have no idea how to pronounce it properly) has been this group's one of the top favorites for many years.

I say "CAN iday". I don't know why I don't think of it as a version of Canine and say "CANE iday".

And I say "FEEL iday" - which does tie in with Feline.
