oh you don't know oranges. It may be a generic name but they have a very specific set of skills lol

Dog owners:

• His name is mister leopold dogus the third, I bought from the only breeder on north hemisphere and it cost me 168k dolars

Cat owners:

• What a cute cat
• it followed me home from the trash bins, i cal him cat

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.

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’ll care about cat breeds when my cat starts showing that she cares about anything.

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"

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.

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).

My cat is named cat. Best name for a cat

Is that Jambo?

My friend has a munchkin void. It can go from purr to hiss in a fraction of a second.

I used to know a woman who would make up names like "North American yodel-hound" or "white-toed chipmunk dog" as the breed for her dogs.

I have never had my eskie mistaken for a husky, it's always either a Pomeranian or a Samoyed.

That being said I do also have an orange braincell, a void, a tortie and a good girl.

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

nah, that's a pomeranian spitz

Is that "Schlomoschlexual" in the bottom picture?

This is so true ​:blobcat_bigsob:​

How far we’ve come (fallen?) from the days of alt.tasteless trolling rec.pets.cats.

I’ve met far too many people who either subscribed or would have subscribed to Cat Fancy.

Different dog breeds were bred to have specific uses though

Ummm.
