Generic breed ID appsmiss the moggies.
Most mixed-breed cats don't get a straight answer from a generic breed ID app. Miau shows you the breeds your cat most resembles — with a confidence score.
Generic apps force a single answer. Moggies deserve better.
The question every cat lover asks at a shelter, at a friend's, or scrolling through photos online — and the answer is usually a guess.
A domestic shorthair can have the face of one breed and the coat of another. Eyeballing it rarely gives a confident answer.
Not after hours of googling. A quick, free answer from a photo, in seconds.
