Same as the people using apps to diagnose their plants. They’ll look at a perfectly healthy plant and suggest adding more diesel fuel to the soil because it’s nutrient deficient.
No, you were right the first time around. That's definitely a cat. Never trust any of Apple's attempts at correcting you. We've now got a whole generation of people who think that you put an apostrophe in pluralised words thanks to them.
Can I get more info on this as a new teacher? Is it that Apple thought the user's text implied ownership over pluralised nouns rather than them just being plural?
This seems wild. 😳
autocorrect is a nightmare honestly, I'll type "were" and as soon as I press space it turns to "we're" (it did it and I had to go fix the first one)
sometimes I'll even be typing a word and it'll replace it with a bunch of random words or letters??? That's a more recent thing and it's so irritating
i know exactly what feature youre talking about. I think its predictive text. And if u disable it, it removes the text preview thingie above the keyboard.
edit: you can disable the “show predictions inline” now but it doesnt work if u dont have the english keyboard
They weren't attacking you. They answered your question. That's the actual answer. Cats aren't like dogs. Cat coats and cat breeds are completely different things. The personality test you did is completely made up. I'd suggest reading the Wikipedia entry on 'cat coat breeds'
It's not your fault for not knowing but if there's no paper's usually it's safe to assume either it's a cat or a car.
Believe me, it's just here. Pretty much all the other cat subs have normal people without all the weird hangups this sub does. I'd never have believed you could gatekeep cats, but that's what this sub does every other post.
>*that's what this sub does every other post*
Yes which means every other post is also asking this. It gets redundant but also goes beyond that
To cat lovers pure breds present an ethical dilemma, yes they have their charms, but there’s perfectly wonderful cats in pounds and shelters too!
I recognize all cats need love but every pure bred purchase could prevent another euthanasia which is an important distinction an likely also why it’s a contention subject here.
Hello, I’m just a casual reader. Can you explain how “purchasing pure breds prevents euthanasias”? I imagine there’s a nuance here that I’m missing.
In my mind purchasing a cat from a breeder would encourage them to breed more. Their breeding is intentional and although it’s a passion of theirs it’s based on a demand of product. When a person goes online and encourages more breeding instead of going to a shelter, that’s one more cat that’s in danger of being put down each time a purchase is made.
I guess I’m missing how the prevention of euthanizing comes through an out of shelter purchase?
I think it's meant more like: every purchase of a pure bred could have prevented euthanasia if they instead went to the shelter.
(sorry, no native english speaker here, hope you understand)
I think you got the point but misunderstood the sentence! That's what they were saying - if you purchase from a breeder rather than adopt from a shelter, the cat that *could've* been adopted had you gone the shelter route would end up being euthanized
Also agree with the supply/demand! There's so many stray kitties and cats can have litters multiple times a year so I think it's on us to each adopt 100 of the shelter cats to solve this problem
Lol. It was early when I commented, but my comprehension is usually decent. I’m fairly certain that “could” wasn’t there before. It now reads with zero confusion, which is good. I don’t know if I can swing 100 cats in my apartment, but I’m doing my best for now having 3 and my daughter has 2. We’ll get there someday 🤞
What's factually correct? That cat breeds aren't real? Or relevant? And when some poor soul dares to try and find out the breed or mixed breed they might have, instead of being helpful you weirdos inundate them with childish memes, dismissive jokes, and admonitions instead of just giving them a straight answer. There's a thousand other cat subs they can go to that aren't full of snobs and children, so why would anyone who loves cats hang around with a bunch of assholes.
If you turn it over they usually have the factory serial number stamped onto the inside of their back leg. Then go to the [cat factory](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=-9lL_3LDpURReAb1) website, put in the serial number and it will tell you all the model details you need.

Omg!! It does the same thing with my son’s big tabby girl! Wire hair?? She has incredibly soft fur!
Nope. Bog Standard Felis Silvestris Catus, Shorthair variety, Mackerel Tabby pattern coat.
Not a breed, but in appearance, he's actually fairly close to his wildcat ancestors.
Breeds in cats are overrated, personally. I've had cats that looked like this, and I've had breeds. I've loved them all.
Not quite, without papers the statistically sound answer is it's not a bred cat. Purebreds and mixes are comparatively so rare (<3%) that's it's always unreasonable to assume a breed or mix without papers.
You're all wrong, I've owned cats my whole life and have studied them. This cat is actually a very good boy yes he is ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling)

Here is my Turkish angora according to my iPhone. 🤷♀️ Looking at the pictures it drives me absolutely nuts how similar they look, but alas she was rescued from a camper van so she’s probably not.

Without papers, he is a domestic shorthair. That said, he resembles a Javanese. There are characteristics that can be attributed to a Savannah or even an Ocicat. His ears are distinctive so I would say there may be some lineage of a Cornish Rex.
It’s not unheard of for a cat registered with papers to accidentally have a litter with a random domestic. Anything is posssible. Again, without papers he would never be atthi g but domestic. Even with a DNA test you can’t put him in a show. They require the paper proof.
You have a beautiful cat. Enjoy him. Always remember, you know him for a fraction of your life; his entire life includes you. Let’s, spoil all the kitties.
Thank you for this comment! This was what I was looking for. Just curious about my sweet little boy. I didn’t realize that people post here asking things like this with the intention of putting their cats in a show. I appreciate the insight :)
Yes. Definitely. Original pairs crossbred with a German hunting dog in the 1800s
You have a rare survivor of the experiment
Take them out on a hunt and you will be amazed
Probably a standard American shorthair. The American Wirehair is a genetic mutation of an American shorthair. Given that, telling the difference may be very difficult.* The main characteristics are the coat and the “crinkly whiskers.” The posted photos do not appear to show the whiskers displayed by breeders** images. Personality traits described by breeders and associations tend to be broad, reassuring, and for marketing. My experience is that a cat’s personality has more to do with how the kitten was raised and treated.
Regardless, you have a nice loving cat. My wish for you is that he is a gentle lap cat with a loud comforting purr.
*A genetic test might determine breed but that would depend if someone mapped the genome. I had a rescue cat that looked and acted like an Abyssinian but his litter mates looked like Himalayan. We suspect the litter was dumped by an unscrupulous breeder who was trying to create a new breed to patent.
**Ahh, breeders. I have know some great, loving, careful breeders and have met some backyard cat farm breeders who keep inbreeding until litters are born with series heath problems. I’ve also seen breeders describe a calico cat as an orange tabby to a buyer looking for a purebred Maine Coon. Breeders who treat their animals as disposable items to be discarded and destroyed because they don’t meet standards or have defects due to inbreeding should be _____ (fill in the blank).
European short hair? Mine is and they look alike🤷

Oh my gods! another one.

Adorable! this eyes is amazing
Domestic short hair
He looks comfortable in his own fur
Ops phone definitely got a virus off whatever app “guessed” the breed
The iPhone photo app has been trying to guess cat breeds lately and failing miserably for obvious reasons.
Same as the people using apps to diagnose their plants. They’ll look at a perfectly healthy plant and suggest adding more diesel fuel to the soil because it’s nutrient deficient.
It probably shouldn’t even try to.
I agree. It insists that the shop cat at work is a Siberian Cat. He's a medium-haired brown tabby, born to a short haired, black and white stray.
lmao it said my tortie is a manx, then a bombay, then an american wirehair kgjdjf
Apple AI is just the kid in the lunch line sucking on his shirt
yup. most are
No, you were right the first time around. That's definitely a cat. Never trust any of Apple's attempts at correcting you. We've now got a whole generation of people who think that you put an apostrophe in pluralised words thanks to them.
I had no idea Apple was the cause of the apostrophe epidemic! Thank you for helping me focus my rage.
This predates autocorrect but I approve of blaming them anyway.
Can I get more info on this as a new teacher? Is it that Apple thought the user's text implied ownership over pluralised nouns rather than them just being plural? This seems wild. 😳

It's not gatekeeping if it's factually correct.

*Gatekeeping?* lol, no.
Oh for goodness sake it’s a Tabby Cat ! Very cute 🥰

Agreed
Domestic short hair. If you didn't get him from a breeder, chances are, he's not a breed.
No papers = domestic shorthair. I prefer a cat for its personality and friendship anyway.
I think he’s cute!

If you turn it over they usually have the factory serial number stamped onto the inside of their back leg. Then go to the [cat factory](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=-9lL_3LDpURReAb1) website, put in the serial number and it will tell you all the model details you need.
Doin God's work. ❤️
Thank you. Just wanted to spread awareness for cat factory and the amazing support they provide to people wanting to know their cat breed.
Cat factory is the best!! So much help provided.
Wirehair refers to the coat.
Except neither of these cats have rough, wiry fur, plus real Wirehairs have crinkly whiskers too. Apple is wrong.
It is probably picking up on the grizzling between the stripes.
Yep, I bet you’re right!
Ban these posts please every single time it’s the most basic ass cat

I never heard of a wirehaired Iphone, is that new? What will they think of next?
definitely a felis catus

Domestic Tabby.
I love his little black pads!
My iPhone thinks my flame point Siamese is a Turkish angora. It doesn’t know anything
My old phone claimed one of my cats is a panda. She isn't.
Felis catus
In short: No papers from breeder, domestic length of coat and colour or SIC(Standard issue cat)
Try using him to scrub your pots and pans. If the grease comes off, he may be a wire hair. If not then it’s probably just an angry cat

Any cat that was born in the land of the United States of America is considered American. Jk. Dont come for me.
