Well, you have to say only part when you come from an animal shelter. Oh, looks like she went to the Bridge before I was born.

Yeah, she was one of the Olde Furts, she crossed over when Catster was still popular.

Cat show people will never say your cat may be a certain breed; they just say "mixed". Like mom asked a judge if I could be part British Shorthair (because she thinks my face and eyes look like a British Shorthair), and the judge said, "he's just a mix".

We've always thought "mixed breed" was a misnomer with cats. Dogs were bred for thousands of years for specific jobs. Cats have only ever really had one job, so breeding wasn't really a thing until pretty recently. Us kitties who aren't a specific breed aren't a mixture of breeds, we're the cats whose ancestors were never bred for show. We're the Original Cats!

Mom always thought, especially characterizing shelter cats with long hair: if you say Persian type you think of a small cat, very thick hair, squished face, big eyes, very gentle; if you say Maine Coon you think huge cat, looks like a bobcat/lynx; you say Angora, you think long, smooth hair, almond shaped eyes, face more pointed, longer body. That gives you more of knowing what the cat looks like.
