Really?

[Wilson Gray]

>From a letter to the editor of InfoWorld:

"'A _cub_ version of [the new MacOSX  4.5] Leopard is on the loose ...'
It took me a while to figure out what this meant, because leopards
have _kittens_, not cubs!"

Can this be true? As far as I'm aware, only housecats have kittens.
But language tends to change over time.
