Top 5 Reasons ‘Moggies’ (Cat Mutts) Are Awesome

Moggies Are Sooo In

No, we haven’t lost our marbles, nor is “moggy” some strange, new cat breed. It is the loving British slang word for non-pedigree cats (aka Domestics) — and they’re awesome. Not convinced yet? Here are the top five reasons moggies take the cake (and the litter box).

#5 They’re Robust to the Brim

It’s nature. When animals can breed on their own, nature has a way of selecting the best genes, allowing the strongest and the fittest to be born. A moggy is often genetically primed to be healthier, smarter, and more robust than her purebred cousins. In fact, many moggies have been found to be less likely to suffer from diseases than their purebred counterparts.

The cats are very beautiful animals! People should respect them more and care for the stray ones!

There are so many stray and shelter cats to adopt, and they are all absolutely handsome - buying a cat is just ridiculous.

They are more able to cope with life than the pampered pure breds, it seems to me.
