Is that like the mutt version of a cat? Hahaha. I love that though, super cute.

Yes, but here in the US, we don’t have a word for that. In the UK (and maybe Australia?), the word for ordinary, non-pedigree domestic cats is “moggie.” When I use that word around here, people say “a what?” So I’m on a one-person campaign to Bring the Word Moggie to America! We need this word!

Yayy 😻

I applaud your campaign. Moggies should be known as Moggies across the World.....or at least across the Pond.
