    I don’t think, “breed,” is really a term that means anything concrete. There’s some sort of Cat Association that registers new breeds, but I don’t think they have any scientific criteria other than, “kitty look different.”

      Mandarins and Bombays are both black kitties with different genes. The difference between them is more than just black.

        Yeah, I was being a little flippant there, but what I was basically getting at is that I don’t think, “breed,” has any real definition beyond what breeders decide is a breed.
