British Shorthair
Everything you need to know
British shorthair cats are one of the oldest
recognized cat breeds, first thought to have been brought to Britain by
the Romans. Prized for their soft, plush coats and rounded bodies,
British shorthairs could almost be mistaken for living teddy bears.
One of the most popular cat breeds the world, the
British shorthair is appropriately named. Not only do they have a thick,
plush short coat, they also have a friendly yet no-nonsense—that is,
rather British—sensibility about life. British shorthairs
make ideal family cats and enjoy being with their
owners, but may turn up their noses at being held or cuddled too much,
the best part: This medium-to-large-sized cat has few health problems.
