Forum:Sire? Dam?

One quick qustion? Why are the words: Sire and Dam used in some infoboxes to display a cat's mother and father? I mean, I know that that is the technical name for a cat's mother and father, but I believe that we should use the words mother and father for two reasons:

1. The Book Series uses Mother and Father 2. Sire and Dam are very confusing.

Is it okay for me to change Sire and Dam to mother and father when I see it?
