He seems the incarnation of everything soft and silky and velvety, without a sharp edge in his composition, a dreamer whose philosophy is sleep and let sleep.

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.
