CONGRATS... you got the best kind of cat. All it means is that your cat is not a pure-bred. It's a "BITSA" (A bit of this and a bit of that), which means most of not all the weaknesses of pure breds will NOT appear in your cat. Me? I insist that all my cats be "moggies" or "Bitsa's"

A moggie is the affectionate, generic name for a cross breed or cat of uncertain parentage. (Unless you're in the States where they call 'moggies' alley cats)
Apparently the word used to be used to refer to a cow (not sure why), later a lady of the streets & finally it refers to a cat. Apparently, though in parts of Lancashire, moggy actually means 'mouse'.

cross breed means the same as moggie (like cross breed dogs are mongrels...) You got a special kitty there 'cos moggies all look different there's no 2 alike!!! You'll also find they' re more friendly and adapt to most situations around family life, so no need to worry, enjoy and have fun getting to know the new family member!!!!

The Moggie is an ancient and noble breed of cat. They are the king of cats. Stroke your moggie and he or she will take your confusion away with a purrrr.
Happy Christmas

Technically a 'cross breed' I believe means a cross between two pedigree animals, whereas a 'moggie' is your common-or-garden cat of mixed background. But the two terms do tend to be used interchangeably.

Moggie is the equivalent to 'mongrel' for dogs - it just means he's a cross breed.

Lucky you. As is the case with dogs non-pedigree animals seem to be friendlier.
Also, if your cat should go missing, you won't be worried about your £2000 "investment"
