Moggy
Moggy is an alternate name most commonly used in
Commonwealth English for a mixed-breed or
mongrel cat whose ancestry and pedigree are not known. Because of this mixed ancestry and free-breeding, a moggy can either be very healthy, or, if from an inbred
feral colony, genetically unsound and sickly. However, as feral colonies are often left without any form of human intervention and
veterinary attention, the sickly do not live past kittenhood, leaving the colony as a whole healthy.
A non-feral moggy makes an excellent household pet.
