Op, just so you know most house cats are either domestic long hair or short hair. They are not usually a specific breed unless they have specific traits such as super big ears, curled ears, no fur ect. I don’t think people are trying to be rude it’s just this question gets asked a lot on this subreddit whenever 9 times out of 10 it’s just a domesticated long or short hair. :)

I've hear that mixed breed domestic cats are also called moggies.

Duh, I didn’t even see this comment before launching into my lecture in moggies.
