There is a cat fancy, purebred cats exist, but there is a population of normal cats in the world that haven’t had their genes mangled, where there really isn’t with dogs. Every single dog in the world is a something something mix, whereas my cat is “a grey one.”
It might be more to do with dogs having a very high degree of genetic plasticity, unusually so. I remember an interesting paper on it. This just doesn’t seem to be the case with cats.

Cause cars haven’t been domesticated, just tamed or whatever. If cats where domesticated to the extent of dogs we would have way more breeds.
