    “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.
