Jaspurr is a fine example of a DSH cat.

Franny Syufy
Definition: Domestic ShortHair cat, used most often as when describing an "ordinary housecat" in the cat fancy. Some cat groups have categories for DSH in their cat shows, allowing only neutered pets to be shown.
Examples: Most of the cats in my household have been domestic shorthairs, and they're my favorite (un)breed of cats.
