"what breed is your cat?"

"he's a stupid asshole is what he is, i love him"

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My cat's breeds are whatever breed of cat you find in dumpsters and car engines 🙃

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Standard American Shorthair.

Bonus points if it's a foundling or feral you just fed until it adopted you.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

a foundling

The shapeshifters from DS9?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I was thinking Mandalorian

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Damn, FromSoft skipped right over DS 4-8 to go straight for DS9. How is it?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm among the many who have a Standard Issue Cat.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The common dumpster cat, if you will 🧐

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Yeah we found ours as an older kitten living in the wall of our detached garage, she was pretty feral. It might as well have been a dumpster. Ten years later she's a sweetheart. But she's addicted to catnip treats. I'm an enabler.

There's something wrong with your cat's face but I think they're cute

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Looks like a very gentle best boi

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

I think that breed is known as "cutie".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Looks like it has some lab in it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, such a cute pup. Really looks similar to the old guy I lost a few months ago..

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No way did you put shlatt there

I am no dog owner but who the hell would think thats a husky

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

You'd be surprised how many people call all wolf-ish primitive breeds 'huskies'. Everyone in my neighbourhood thinks my dog (profile pic) is a Siberian husky, though it's more understandable since she's a related Siberian breed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've had someone ask me if my corgi was a husky before. Um. No??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

How much drugs and/or alcohol were involved?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

A wojak with a troll mask, it seems

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would a cat's servant care about the breed?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To know how best to address their majesty

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Peasants don't need to know the name of the reigning dynasty they only need to know who's in charge.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (6 children)

The only breeds people mention are ones that are notoriously annoying. Persian, Siamese, Sphinx.

Everything else is based on appearance... tabby, calico, mackerel, "maine coon" (which is often used to describe cats that *aren't* maine coon)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Persians are well known for being one of the more friendly breeds. I can't confirm because my family doesn't believe in getting pure breeds

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Hey my cat has a genetic mutation that makes him cold all the time in our canadian climate

Cool, lets breed more of them!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Maine Coons are super cute though. Just saying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Chantilly Tiffany, which is every long haired black cat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tortoiseshells are known for having "tortitude" but aren't really their own breed, its really just a description of their coat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

"American short-hair" covers a surprisingly large number of "breeds" that people think are out there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dog breeds are also just appearance tbf

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

@irmoz Not really, they're also temperament *and* biological conditions -- like, in many cases, detrimental susceptibility to things like cancer, cataracts, or bone disease. See: Golden retriever

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

What breed is that? Garfield

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Isn't that a Samoyed? Or Sammy, or smiling Sam?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea, i'm pretty sure that is a Samoyed, while the cat is an Orange Tabby. You can identify tabbies by the 'M' on their forehead! :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What does the M stand for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly? No idea, it's been years since i learned that little fact

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Millie, my ex gf’s cat

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

its the orange shlatt-cat (also known as: the shlat)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The single brain cell variety.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fun fact. The reason orange cats are dumb is actually not inherent to it being orange!

Turns out it's just that male cats are MUCH more stupid than female cats and orange as a color just so happens to be tied to genes that are unlikely to emerge in female cats.

That means orange cats are more likely to be male, which makes them stupid.

The 19% of orange cats that are female, behave perfectly normal
