Conclusion: the latest incarnation of Puss in Boots is a male orange tabby-and-white random bred cat (moggy).

Pusheen is a female, gray tabby, cartoon cat. There is no indication that she is a purebred cat. I will take it, therefore, that she is a random-bred cat or moggy, which is apt because she is meant to represent cats in general. She does things that, in general, young people like to do such …
