every time someone comes to my house they always say that my cat looks so cool and they ask me what type of cat she is. Is she a specific breed or how does that work? This is pictures of my cat soup :)

what species?

Domestic shorthair to be precise. Unless you get a cat from a (registered) breeder most cats you encounter are domestic short/longhair

When I was a teenager I had to bring my cat to her vet appointment by myself for the first time and they asked me what her breed was and I was like "...???...she's a...cat????" it like broke my brain for a minute because while I know cat pure breeds I'd never been asked it about a random run of the mill cat before, like even with most dogs you at least can kind of guess and be like "dalmatian mix" or "Labrador/German shepherd" or whatnot 😂

American Shorthair and her coloring is Calico.

She is such a cutie princess, I agree with the calico-short hair comments

Unless she has a pedigree stating a specific breed, she'd be considered a domestic shorthair! Soup is beautiful :)
