What is a Mixed Breed Cat?
Any and all unregistered cats, must be considered as mixed breed cats, and are referred to as “Domestic” cats. You may often see them listed as DSH, DMH, or DLH. These letters indicate the length of a cats hair, Domestic Short Hair, Domestic Medium Hair, or Domestic Long Hair. These cats would be referred to by their coloring as well as the letter code for their hair length. Just because a cat “looks” like it belongs to a specific breed group, does not mean it does. The rule applies, no registration papers = no breed. In many countries it is illegal to refer to a pet as purebred unless you have registration papers for it.
