"Mongrel" is the word, but I've barely heard it used.

Pretty confident "domestic shorthair" is the "John Doe" of cat breeds.

I've only ever heard that used about people, as a slur.

It's a slur when used in regards to people specificallybecause it's referring to people using language normally meant for animals

Yeah, that's fair, but what I mean is that at some point the slur just takes over. When you hear the B word you no longer think about a female dog. Westerners usually don't think Buddhism when we see swastikas either.
