I've got a Void

On the other hand, I don't even know if there's a word for "mutt" with cats the way there is for generic mixed dogs. When I last moved and got a new vet, and they asked me what breed my cats were and I said I wasn't sure as they didn't have any "distinctive" breed and were shelter adopts, they pretty much just said "Domestic shorthair it is then". Not sure if that's something particular that's just common or a catch-all term.
Domestic shorthair is the equivalent of mutt or so I was told! Coat color is its own thing. So I have a domestic shorthair that's piebald, my mother has a domestic shorthair that has a tortie coat.

"Mongrel" is the word, but I've barely heard it used.
Pretty confident "domestic shorthair" is the "John Doe" of cat breeds.
"Mongrel" is the word, but I've barely heard it used.
Because that term can't really be applied to cats. They're either a particular breed or they're not. There's no cat equivalent of a labradoodle. Over here we have "European shorthair" as the most prevalent breed and "European house cat" as a fallback for anything that isn't a breed.

Well let's see, known cat breeds:
Orange, Tuxedo, Standard Issue, Void, Siamese (my parents had a flame point siamese that was weird), naked wrinkly cat, Fluffball.
Think that about covers it.
Edit: Oh yes, Torties and Calicos, and I forgot one I love: Tactical Issue! Some people think they're just sneaky cats. Nope! Grey and white stripes that blend in well with urban environments
I have a standard issue cat that has a bit of orange in her. She is super chill and affectionate, loves being held and is quite vocal when she wants something (uppies or treats). Although she doesn't really exhibit any other traits of being an orange cat.

I've had a ragdoll, a bengal, and a bunch of "American Shorthair"s.

A lot of people asks if my cat is a maine coon, because big and fluffy –but he doesn't have other features. I always answers that he's a bastard (meaning mixed origins).

I had a "cat" cat too, but nothing to say in my defense. And I named the cat who came in my yard but wasn't mine "big nose" because he had a big nose.

We have a big, white, mixed breed dog. People ask us all the time if she's a Great Pyrenees, an English Cream, or what have you. She's a dog. 100% pure dog.

We had a farmyard crossed dog that lived for almost 17 years I called him a car-puk-eh because of his lifelong affliction with motion sickness.

Mine's a bastard too. (though no mixed origins)

Used to work at an animal shelter, and I can count on one hand the number of cats we'd ever had that were anything other than "D(S/L)H (color and pattern)" or "(pattern) Siamese"

Most of those aren't breeds, they're patterns. A calico can have tabbies and torties in the same litter

I named my first ferret "Girl" and her sister "Yu". One of my turtles is named "Turtle". My creativity knows no bounds.
I did name my dog Sophie though, so one out of four could be worse.
