Because a handful of dog breeds are bigger than wolves.

They are in the feline genus

Just like dogs, wolves, are in the canine genus

Size doesn't matter, it's the structure of the animal.

Look, big cats and little cats have common ancestors going back like 25 million years. It's because they have that same familial ancestry that we call them all Felidae

Humans cause some dogs to be larger than wolves, true. But we're also the ones classifying them as canines and felines

It just seems really arbitrary because they clearly arent the same thing. Regardless though, do you go into a pet store and say Im looking for a feline ? No of course not

Don't even get me started with phyla, subphyla, class, etc. I thought we were talking about scientific structure of zoology here, no "how much is that doggy in the window?"

Theres a big range to cat sizes other than big and little. Not to mention, tigers are bigger than lions anyway.

They're like 99% the same behaviorally except Lions which are slightly more aggressive / territorial / aloof.

Laser pointers work on all the big cats except Lions, for example.

Humans are a part of nature so it could be argued that it was nature.
