No breed, no template
A domestic shorthair has no breed standard to enforce. That's a portrait strength, not a weakness. We read what's actually in your photo — the coat color, the pattern, the eye color, the build — and paints that cat. A black tuxedo with a white chest and a brown tabby with green eyes get distinct treatments, not the same house-cat outline with different fur swapped in.
Pattern does the lifting
Because the breed isn't carrying the portrait, the coat pattern is. A mackerel tabby reads sharply in Watercolor. A solid black domestic shorthair carries Knight or Cardinal with weight a tabby couldn't match. A calico domestic shorthair gets Pop Art treatment that turns the patches into graphic blocks. The pattern picks the style as much as the style picks the cat.
Why Library lands hardest
Library — the bookshelf-backed editorial framing — works almost universally for domestic shorthairs because it asks nothing of breed regalia. The cat sits as itself in a setting that flatters any coat. Tuxedo-style framings work for black-and-white bicolors. Knight reads well for stocky builds. Watercolor flatters everything.
