"Mongrel" is the word, but I've barely heard it used.
Pretty confident "domestic shorthair" is the "John Doe" of cat breeds.
I’ve been calling that handsome little feral gremlin, asshole, jerk-ass, mooch best buddy of mine a mongrel for 22 years now, I had no idea I was just being accurate.
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.
I've only ever heard that used about people, as a slur.
It's a slur when used in regards to people specificallybecause it's referring to people using language normally meant for animals
Yeah, that's fair, but what I mean is that at some point the slur just takes over. When you hear the B word you no longer think about a female dog. Westerners usually don't think Buddhism when we see swastikas either.
