Cat and Dog Breeds

“It was a stupendous sight while the torches lasted, and Carter had never before seen so many cats. Black, grey, and white; yellow, tiger, and mixed; common, Persian, and Manx; Thibetan, Angora, and Egyptian; all were there in the fury of battle, and there hovered over them some trace of that profound and inviolate sanctity which made their goddess great in the temples of Bubastis.” — Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, H.P. Lovecraft

The cat or dog’s breed is an important factor in its creation since the consequences of deliberate breeding create dramatic effects in purebred animals. Most cats and dogs, of course, are “Domestic Shorthairs” or "Mutts". These mixed-breed animals are by far the most common. Any cat or dog with a stray background will be a Domestic Shorthair or Mutt, and virtually all NPC cats and dogs the characters will run across on the streets will be Domestic Shorthairs or Mutts as well. Purebreds are generally only found in the rarefied air of houses with devoted Can Openers/Friends on staff.
