		A domestic shorthaired cat (DSH) is the proper name for a shorthaired cat that does not have a pedigree or belong to a recognised cat breed.
		Domestic shorthaired cats are characterised by a wide range of colouring and typically 'revert to type' after a few generations, which means they express their coats as a tabby.
		Domestic shorthairs are typically the most successful members in feral cat populations due to not needing human intervention for coat maintenance.
