[The] DSH is not an actual cat breed itself. Instead, it's simply a type of cat characterized by its short, sleek coat and, very often, its unknown genetics ... As a result, these kitties can be found in any color, color combination, or pattern that is seen in other cat breeds, from tabby to tuxedo to tortoiseshell, and beyond. 2, record 1, English, - domestic%20shorthair%20cat
