In _One Piece_ , why are Zoans not considered Paramecia?

And why is the Mochi Mochi no Mi not just a normal Paramecia because it does
not fit in Logia?

Why are animals devil fruits not Paramecia?


Because that is simply how they are defined?  
Zoan fruits give the specific ability

> to transform into an animal, as well as transform into a hybrid form of
> their own species and the species the fruit allows them to transform into.

Paramecia on the other hand are simply defined as all those powers that are
not animal transformation or elemental transformation.

Why the Mochi Mochi no Mi is classified as (special) Paramecia and not Logia
is currently unclear.  
It was actually first stated to be a Logia.

Functionally it is basically the same as a Logia. A possible explanation for
the different classification could be that Mochi is manmade and not a natural
element.
