There are many breeds of cats. The common ones are mixed breeds, often called Moggies or Domestic Shorthair/Longhairs. Some less common types of cats are the Bombay.

There are many different types of breeds: Persian, Manx, Siamese, Himalayan, Russian blue, American Shorthair, Scottish Fold, Japanese bobtail and Turkish Van, to name a few.

Tabby cats and Tuxedo cats are popular.

Another answer:

The answer above is incorrect. Firstly, tabby and tuxedo are names to describe certain coat colours found on some domestic cats. Second, the domestic cat is just one species of cat.

The question itself is unclear. There are many cat species throughout the world, most of whom are not too difficult to identify, and even with the domestic cat species, there are many breeds found within it.
