Hi,
I'm interested in getting an understanding of what people understand a cat "breed" to be. I know that what makes a cat purebred is the papers that accompany it, tracing its ancestry. However, I've also noticed that a lot of people think their pound kitties are one breed or another (I think pound kitties are wonderful...no offense intended). So, I'm asking:
How do you understand breed? By color, by appearance, by personality, or by papers?
Thanks! :)
