About the British

The British Shorthair is a stocky pure breed that resembles a plush Teddy Bear, their coats are often

described as crisp or crackling, which refers to the way the coat breaks over the cats body contours.

Although blue is the color most associated with the breed, they can be found in many colors and patterns.

This sturdy and independent breed is best described as good natured, calm, loyal, dignified and

affectionate. One claim of the British Shorthair origin was that it was bred for the first time in the 19th

century in an attempt to make a beautiful cat out of an alley cat and a domestic cat. The result was a British Shorthair named Brite, who was presented to the public in 1871 with wide spread approval, winning Best in Show at Crystal Palace of London.

Another claim indicates that the breeds ancestors traces back to domestic cats in Egypt and Rome.

Under this claim it is believed that the British Shorthair arrived to Britain after the 2nd century AD,

when the Roman Empire spread to Britain.

Dogs Eat, Cats Dine.

Famous British Shorthair

Writer Lewis Carol and illustrator Sir John Tenniel chose the breed for the model for the Cheshire Cat in,

The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland.

A British Shorthair Silver Tabby is the face of Whiska's, a British Blue is the face of Sheba cat food.

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld Humor/Fantasy Novels, the Lancre witch nanny Oggs' cat Greebo also known as the Terror of the Ramptops is a British Blue. The breed has also become a favorite of animal trainers because of it's nature and intelligence.
