The British shorthair is one of the most popular cat breeds in the world — and for good reason. With her round face, big eyes, and soft, dense coat, she has an almost teddy bear-like appearance. The classic color is “British Blue” (grey-blue), but this breed comes in a variety of colors and patterns, from cream and black to tabby and bicolour.

Character: quiet and charming

The British shorthair is famous for her balanced and friendly character . She likes to be around her people but isn't pushy. She is very attached to her family and gets along well with children and other pets. Although she's rarely your typical lap cat, she certainly enjoys attention and cuddles — in her own moment.

Thanks to their calm nature, British shorthairs are also very suitable for people who live in an apartment or have a quieter household.

Care: infrequent but regular

Their short, dense coat sheds moderately and has low maintenance needful. A weekly brushing helps remove loose hair and keeps the coat shiny. Brushing more often can be useful during molting (especially in spring and autumn). It is also important to cut their nails regularly and to keep their ears and teeth clean.
