Well, I wouldn't say that most people "don't know about or are not familiar with ANY names of cat breeds/cat breed names" because there are a few popular ones; Bengal, Persian, Siamese and Sphynx. Of course compare to dogs, that's really sad.
However, as to why most people can't name cat breeds like they can dog breeds, I have a guess as to why; cats look more similar to each other then dogs do.
Sure, the difference between a Sphynx and a Persian is obviously, but the difference between a lot of other cats aren't quite as obviously as the above example or dogs, or at least on first glance it's not.
With dogs, you have the tiny Chihuahua to the huge great dane that have over 100 pounds in difference. But with cats, there's only probably around ten to twenty pounds in difference with the average small cat to the average big cat.
And it can't be because people don't like cats, the cat is either the most kept pet or the second most (can't remember which).
So, yeah....I think it's because of how similar most cats look to each other compare to dogs.
(Also, I know this question didn't bring up dogs at all, I just wanted...needed a comparison to make my point.)
