About British Shorthair

The British Shorthair is the pedigreed version of the traditional British domestic cat. Known for their round faces, dense plush coats, and copper eyes, they are calm, undemanding companions. They are not lap cats but prefer sitting near their owners. The "British Blue" is the most iconic color, but the breed comes in a wide range of colors and patterns.
