British Shorthair Cat Breed |
|||
![]() |
The British Shorthair, probably the oldest English breed of cat, traces its ancestry back to the domestic cat of Rome. This breed was first prized for its physical strength and hunting ability, but soon became equally recognized and valued for its calm demeanor, endurance and loyalty to man. The British Shorthair is a comparatively rare cat in the United States. Around 1980 it was recognized for championship competition by CFA stimulating much needed interest in the breed. Recognized world-wide, many fine “Brits” are still imported today from England, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia to help widen the gene pool for breeders in the United States. |

Cuddly, comfy, with a fleecy fur, but without the urgent need for the outdoors like her ancestors, the British Shorthair domestic house cat has been able to purr herself to the top of the breeds. The blue variety of the British Shorthair is among the most favored of all shorthair domestic house cats. As early as 1911, a British Blue was awarded the much sought after trophy for best in show, which on the European continent was exclusively reserved for Persians or Siamese. Through crossbreeding with the Persians, the British Shorthair developed a fuller body and head and became the cobby cat that is favored today. | ||
