Within the context of the show, almost all the cats would be mogs/mongerels. They're strays, alley cats, and domestic pets. Given the show's set in London, the local mongerels are basically non-pedigree British Shorthairs or longhairs. The only characters who might have any particular breed to them would be Cassandra, and Tugger. General fan theory is that Cass is an Abysinnian, and Tugger either Maine Coon or Norwegian Forest Cat. There's no set breeds at all tho in the canon, apart from Cassandra being an "Exotic" of some type.

Most of the coat markings suggest some sort of Tabby and white, but the markings are deliberately loosely drawn, as John Napier's intent was "Sketches of Cats" rather than fully rendered accurate representations of specific Cats.

I tend to think Bustopher's likely to be longhaired rather than shorthaired personally, as they give the illusion of being even bigger than otherwise!
