The vets that I have experienced tend to use the human's surname as the pet's surname. If that's the case with you also, it is humorous to imagine a cat's chart basically saying "Cat [your last name]"

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.

Well let's see, known cat breeds:

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

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.

"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.

Based on a dogs shape and coat, you can pretty easily determine the breed families in it. It's important to know since dog breeds are much more diverse due to their history with humans around the world—most have jobs bred into them. So it's still good to know if your dog has breeding in it that thrives on exercise or fetch jobs or that sort of thing. Most of those little dogs are for hunting small vermin and are savage fuckers, for example.

Cats it's mostly one size fits all with a random roll on personality stats.

Moggy can be used for cats the way mutt is for dogs, but I think it might be more common in the UK? I don’t really hear it in the US, maybe cat breeders use it.

But yeah, for vets and rescues it’s just domestic short hair/long hair (sometimes medium hair).

Huh, interesting. To me, "moggy" is just a slang term for a cat, e.g. "who's a pretty moggy?". But also, I've only once met a cat that was of a particular breed, so perhaps the general nature of "moggy" for me stems from that. (For context, I am from the UK)
