A domestic cat, also known as a housecat or a pet cat, is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal. The three most common breeds of domestic cats are the MOGGIE (6 letters), TABBY (5 letters), and MANX (4 letters). A MOGGIE is a mixed-breed cat with no particular breed characteristics. A TABBY is a type of domestic cat with distinctive stripes, dots, lines, or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an 'M' on its forehead. The MANX is a tailless breed of domestic cat that originated on the Isle of Man.
