I got a haircut recently and was doing just this. "One dog is a mix of ABC, the other XYZ. You said you have a cat? What kind?"

"Oh...just a regular one. Not a fancy one."

    I get asked about my dogs a lot because of their rarity outside of Finland, people want to know the breed.

    "They're Finnish Lapphunds."

    Always sounds fancy, but if you take away the geography bit, you're just left with 'hund', or in English, 'a dog'.

    No traits, no job, no specific breeding to the name, just 'a dog, found in these parts.'

    Hell, my oldest one's dad lives in a junkyard in the woods in Finland. Lovely nature. Excellent outdoor companion in the snow 🥰

    Is the Lapp- bit geographical? Or is it equivalent to "lap dog" in English?

    The most northern region of both Finland and Sweden is called Lappland (named after the sami people that has lived there since forever, and that were once called "Lapps").

    "This is our English springer spaniel. He has papers!" Compared to almost all the cats that were "He showed up and screamed at me until I said guess we got another cat"

    (Some of my grandmother's cats had papers but all my cats are mutts)

    People conveniently ignoring a whole ass breed of bald cats acting like it's just cat pattern baldness

    Cats are often categorized by their coloring rather than breed. Jack looks to be a tuxedo cat.

    I got a siberian husky, a chipoo, and a long-haired calico that has claimed me as their person.

    Nah it’s a dog, then people ask what breed. Then it’s part this and part that. Cat people straight up give you a lecture how cats domesticated themselves twice. And how we’re all worshipping Isis or something idk. I’m not a cat person.

    We just take whatever the cat shelter has left.
