	All you have to do is figure out if your cat is a shorthair, medium-hair, or a longhair. After that, use this key: Shorthair-Domestic Shorthair http://www.catster.com/cat-breeds/Domestic_Shorthair Medium-hair-Domestic Medium-hair http://www.catster.com/cat-breeds/Domestic_Medium_Hai r Longhair-Domestic Longhair http://www.catster.com/cat-breeds/Domestic_Long_Hair If you don't know what hair type your cat is, I suggest looking at the pictures and predicing which one looks most like your cat. You don't have to be a purebred to be special. You also don't need to have a specific breed to have a breed on your profile page.

	Well put, Socko! By the way, you're a beautiful boy, and I think you may be a cream tabby, rather than an orange tabby. I LOVE cream tabbies and hope to have one someday. But your Human got you first!

	Hey Harvey you would have loved the litter our friend Marigold had... Marigold was a stray kitty who we rescued, a friend of ours took her in for us and she turned out to be pregnant... She was a red/orange tabby, and she had a litter of 4 creams and two orange/reds! Some longhaired, some short. You can see their photos here if you're interested: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95777 more here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v280/velvetrose/Kittens/

	Those are some cute pics. Some of them sort of look like Socko back when he was real small.

Everyone loves- an orange tabby.

	I've a question. It might seem silly, but I've been curious for a while and I confess... I still have much to learn about cats. But what's the difference between say... an American shorthair and a domestic shorthair?

	Hi Noble! Love your name, your markings and your color! No, it is not a silly question at all. American Shorthair is an actual breed of cat--they are pedigreed. Cats that are of unknown parentage or origin are Domestic Shorthairs. American Shorthairs

	Gimli is right. A domestic shorthair is of mixed ancestry and is not actually a purebred cat, but an american shorthair is and have their own particular traits. Domestic shorthairs however are all very different, all except for their short, sleek coat.
