I personally like the British term moggie or moggy for mixed breed cat which in the American pronunciation rhymes with doggie or doggy. Although the Oxford English Dictionary defines a moggie as a cat “that does not have a pedigree or is otherwise unremarkable” and reduces it to the equivalent of “mutt” or “mongrel”, every time I’ve encountered the word it’s been used as a term of endearment. So with all due respect for the Oxford English Dictionary folks, that’s the definition I prefer. And I’m sure if my moggy, Bamboo, roused himself long enough to consider it, he would agree. 🙂
