Find Your Perfect Pet Match british shorthair for sale british shorthairs

The British Shorthair is a very pleasant cat to have as a  companion. She is easy going and placid. The British is a fiercely  loyal, loving cat and will attach herself to every one of her family  members. 

While the British loves to play, she doesn't need hourly  attention. If she is in the mood to play, she will find someone and  bring a toy to that person. The British also plays well by herself, and  thus is a good companion for single people.

The British Shorthair is a thick, muscular cat so her nutrition  must be carefully controlled. Despite her heavy boning and musculature,  you want to make certain she keeps a proper weight and does not get out  of condition. She must get adequate exercise. Interactive play may be  necessary to keep the breed in good shape. 

The British will play when she wants to play and will find a toy  or create one out of anything she finds if a cat toy is not available. 

A daily brushing is important, especially during seasonal changes  when the coat is thickening or thinning. Even this Shorthair cat can get  knots in her coat if she isn't brushed regularly. 

The British tolerates being left alone. She is affectionate but  also spends time just sleeping in the sun. The British is an easy cat to  care for and makes a wonderful, quiet companion.

The British Shorthair, while originally coming from the farms and  streets of Britain, is also considered to be the first cat of the cat  fancy. The father of this breed is Harrison Wier, who is thought of as  the first professional cat breeder. He is known in cat fancy history as  the Father of the Cat Fancy. Not only was he the first professional  breeder, but he also determined the rules for the first cat show, which  was held in Britain in 1871. 

As if this were not enough, Harrison took the humble street cat of  Britain and, through an intensive breeding program, transformed it to  the pedigreed breed that he named the British. The British fell in love  with their new now-pedigreed breed. When the Persian was introduced into  Britain, it nudged out the British for the most popular breed  temporarily. During the Second World War, as in the First World War, the  British Shorthair breed was decimated, but it always reemerged into the  top ranks of popularity. Today, the British shorthair is accepted in  cat registries worldwide. At one time, it was known as the British Blue,  but since it comes in a variety of colors, it is called either the  British or the British Shorthair.
