Moggy by

Was around at a friends house and just happened to have my Tamron 90mm attached to my Nikon D300.
This is a shot of their cat, don’t think it’s a breed, hence the title.
Some info on domestic cats of Wikipedia:
In the United Kingdom and Australasia, non-purebred cats are referred in slang as moggies (derived from “Maggie”, short for Margaret, reputed to have been a common name for cows and calves in 18th century England and latter applied to housecats during the Victorian era). In the United States, a non-purebred cat is sometimes referred to in slang as a barn or alley cat, even if it is not a stray.
