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.

Is that "Schlomoschlexual" in the bottom picture?
Ginger.
Seriously though, why do the yanks call ginger cats "orange"?

not all dog owners
Why are the dog owners crying?
I have a small mixed breed who is apparently Boston terrier, beagle, and pug. I wanted to do a doggy DNA test, but my ex said he is just 100% pure badness.
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.
Moggie.
