British Shorthair

British Shorthairs are the teddy bears of the cat world, with their round faces, plush coats, and rotund bodies. These dignified cats are calm, undemanding, and content to simply be near their humans. They're not lap cats but enjoy sitting beside you. British Shorthairs are known for their patience and tolerance, making them excellent with children and other pets. They're independent enough to handle being alone but still enjoy family time.

British Shorthairs are prone to weight gain, so monitor their diet and encourage play. They don't like being carried and prefer to keep all four paws on the ground. Respect their need for personal space while appreciating their quiet companionship. Regular grooming keeps their dense coat in good condition.
