In that case, you would be better off replacing ABEC with a quad ABDC and
a tri BED.  This prevents unsightly rendering holes caused by rounding
error.

Eh; considering the line in this case is completely vertical, rounding errors
may be a bit less likely anyway.


But once your cat is rotated in a model, the line may no longer be vertical.  The rounding errors occur at the rendering stage,
not the part creation stage.

This isn't a huge deal, IMO, but your parts will look better if you avoid connecting quads and tris other than at their vertices.
