    From my (2nd) favorite website: https://www.etymonline.com/word/wildcat

    “sense of "one who forms rash projects" is attested from 1812”

    I get the idea that there’s a pejorative sense to the word. Rash is not typically a synonym you want used in place of wildcat in most of the uses I’ve seen, ie: wildcat strikes.

    Also, “She’s a wildcat”
