I'm completely confused about this whole "breed" thing with cats. Like I thought calico was a breed of cat then someone told me that that's actually a color. So is short-hair a breed oor..yeah I'm just confused can someone help me!!
Calico is a color of hair, not a breed. Moggy cat can be calico. Short hair is not a breed, it's the lenght of hair, which is short. Moggy cat could be short, medium, or long hair.Originally Posted by Lil_Axl_Gurl

Breed would be Persian, Ragdoll, Siamese, Birman, etc.
He is short haired black moggy cat. Short hair means he has short hair. His color is black. Moggy means he is not of any specific breed.Originally Posted by Lil_Axl_Gurl

Great answer!Originally Posted by BigKittenDaddy
Your cat is a purebred 100% cat with a leg on each corner, a head at 1 end and a tail at the other and an attitude inbetween.
Which is the same as black moggy cat, frequently referred to as mixed breed.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
