I added the category "Cat breeds" since the article was flagged as not being categorised. Having said that, domestic shorthairs are a "breed" in the informal sense as it is commonly used term to categorise cats that aren't one of the registered breeds. Some purists may argue that therefore it isn't a breed, but it hardly seems very sensible to categorise the article as "Cat non-breeds". Kerry ( talk) 05:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
I pulled the following as it's a) unreferenced, b) opinion, c) redundant. Feel free to reformat and repost with appropriate citations. "Short haired cats can weigh up to 5-10 kilograms. They are very friendly and happy cats. The cat in the picture is a tabby cat. They are also friendly. If you want to buy one they cost around $200 but it is worth the price. They are great for families with children. The DSH cat does not need alot of exercise but give them a healthy diet so they don't get overweight." Jedikaiti ( talk) 22:22, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
This article needs to consistently use "a domestic short-haired cat", or "a domestic short-haired" for short. There is no "the domestic short-haired" much less "the Domestic Shorthair"; it is not a breed, so the definite article does not apply. While CFA and a few other registries use the capitalized phrase "Domestic Shorthair" this is for their own internal show categorization and pedigree registration purposes. This can and should be mentioned in the article, for completeness, but the term should not be otherwise used in Wikipedia articles, as it constitutes a form of viewpoint-pushing, namely the advancement of peculiar CFA/TICA/FIFe breed jargon like "Shorthair" (capitalized, unhyphenated, and without "-ed") over plain English, in which "shorthair" is not a word. Since this is not an actual cat breed at all, proper usage even in breed articles would be "The British Shorthair is a short-haired cat breed", not "a shorthair cat breed" (much less "a Shorthair cat breed"). Using "shorthair" or "Shorthair" in this article in particular is doubly inappropriate, as original research.

There are many puspins (Pusang Pinoy) in the Philippines, the pusang kalye, the domesticated shorthaired street cat (and feral cat). 124.106.129.189 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:13, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
Pusang Pinoy to refer to this? 136.158.59.144 ( talk) 07:27, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
I am proposing to merge Domestic short-haired cat and Domestic long-haired cat into one article possibly under the name Mixed-breed cat.
Currently there is no page to link when referring to moggies of any hair length and most of the information on the two pages is repeated. They'd be better off having their own sections on a shared page. Traumnovelle ( talk) 09:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
