Moggy is an alternate name most commonly used in
Australia for a mixed-breed or
mongrel[?] cat whose ancestry and
pedigree[?] are not known. Because of this mixed ancestry and free-breeding, a moggy can either be very healthy, or, if from an inbred
feral[?] colony, genetically unsound and sickly. However, as feral colonies are often left without any form of human intervention and
veterinary[?] attention, the sickly do not live past kittenhood, leaving the colony as a whole healthy.
A non-feral moggy makes an excellent household pet.
