Coeurl are cats.

Cats are mammals, so you can call their young 'pups'.
You *can*, but it is much more correct to refer to a cat-class creature (especially a large predatory cat) as a "cub" in its young form. We call all tiger, leopard, lion animals cubs.

Coeurls are more closely related to large carnivorous mammals such as lion, so this is why I believe they are as cubs not pups.

In every Final Fantasy they appear, they are classified as cat class. It is very minor - but I love coeurls and all cats. Kittens and cubs are the terms we use for cats.
