Jose's Barn Cat - the new breed to have!

While cat breeds often have the names of fanciful places, they often come from cat breeders, who often keep their cats in cages, basements, garages, barns, or extra rooms. But "Jane Smith's basement cats" doesn't sound like as charming as a tropical isle.

As far as I am concerned, dividing cats into separate breeds is ridiculous. They are all one species - the domestic cat. They come in various colors, some have a bit longer hair, a few have some mutation that makes them unique (unless someone reproduces the unique cats - then they are no longer unique).

AFAIAC, a person might as well gather up a bunch of orange tabbies from a barn, breed them, and call them King Jose's Palace Cats.

Are the histories of dog breeds any better?
