British Shorthair
|
Description
The British Shorthair has a large, round head; round, wide-set eyes and ears; and round paws. It is a solidly built, medium to large cat with a broad chest. The coat of the British Shorthair is dense and crisp to the touch. Although the traditionally favoured colour is blue, the British Shorthair comes in a range of different colours and patterns.
The British Shorthair is easygoing, untemperamental and reserved, yet also extremely affectionate. These adaptable cats take children and other animals in their stride. Although British Shorthairs enjoy the occasional romp, they are not rowdy cats and do not require a lot of attention. Their voices are soft and sweet.
