    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)

      it’s just domestic short hair/long hair (sometimes medium hair).

      Also: domestic longish hair, domestic asymmetric bob (AKA Karen cat), and Domestic mullet.
