History of the breed
The British Shorthair cat became known back in 1898, but was finally approved as a breed only 84 years later.
Such a long recognition was due to the fact that there were many complaints about the cat’s standards.
To perfect it, breeders worked a lot, crossing the best and most beautiful English domestic cats with Persians (then, after the war, with Russian Blues and Carthusian cats).
The first cat (progenitor of the British breed) is considered to be Harrison Fair.
The story of the appearance of these cats in Britain has two versions. Some claim that they were brought by legionnaires from Rome.
Others insist that the British were brought by French sailors who kept cats as excellent rat catchers.
The favorite pastime for a British cat is chasing a mouse, artificial or real, it doesn’t matter to him
Character and psychology
The British Shorthair cat has an excellent character: he is easy-going, calm, very smart and clean.

Speaking about these charming plushies, I would like to note the characteristics of their breed.
- Energy. While the British are small, they are, as expected, very nimble and energetic. But an adult British Blue cat (and other colors) becomes more reserved and even lazy, just like a Scottish Fold cat or Scottish Straight . Be sure to chase him around the apartment, including in outdoor games, so as not to gain weight (these breeds are prone to obesity).
- Friendliness. Their friendliness and dedication make the British truly part of the family. They adore their owners and are patient with babies, but they do not like excessive care, preferring to periodically retire to a place secluded from human eyes.
- Pet compatible. The British quickly find a language with other pets, but they like to show their superiority and some importance. Their familiar attitude towards people and animals is determined by genes from the Persians.
Let me scratch your ear!
- Patience (restraint) and its facets. Appearances can be deceiving, and this is also the case with the British breed. Despite their plush toy appearance, they do not like baby talk, although they can tolerate it for a long time - until the actions of the person playing with them seem to them unworthy of their person (degrading to their dignity). The degree of their patience depends on personal qualities that will become known to their owners over time. In order to avoid extended claws directed towards the person playing with him, do not exceed the limits of what is permitted and remember that you need to “tease the cubs” in moderation.
- Training. British cat kittens are difficult to train, but this is not particularly necessary. Their genes endowed cats with intelligence, aristocracy and good manners. Therefore, you don’t have to worry that their claws will scratch your furniture and carpets, and your bedside rug will become a toilet.

Compound
In the process of manufacturing Czech cat food, the manufacturer uses:
- dehydrated chicken 25%;
- chicken fillet, which is the main source of protein;
- rice bran, which compensates for the lack of protein in the animal’s body;
- chicken liver;
- rice;
- a small amount of chicken fat and salmon oil, which are sources of fatty acids;
- brewer's yeast and dried apples;
- sea buckthorn and a small percentage of mananoligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides.
The presence of prebiotics in the composition helps stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms. Brit is a cat food of good quality. A significant advantage is the presence among the ingredients of a large number of vitamins and minerals, sources of protein and a minimal percentage of ash.
How to choose a kitten
If you want to purchase a purebred real British dog, then you should pay attention to the characteristics of the breed (the standards of which were approved back in 1982).
These standards include:
- strong muscular body;
- powerful legs, like those of an exotic ;
- massive round head on a short powerful neck;
- straight, wide and slightly shortened nose, without a stop, but pronounced towards the forehead;
- round muzzle without indentations (pinch is not allowed), well-developed chin, round, wide-set eyes;
- rounded, wide-set ears (the height of which should not exceed their width);
- straight (medium in length, but wide) tail with a rounded tip;
- short, dense wool with a plush-like texture;
- fold of skin around the head.
A British kitten's walk should be full of vivid impressions
In addition to the characteristics of the breed, you should definitely pay attention to the documents and living conditions of the kittens.
If the breeders do not treat the animals properly (the place is not clean, has a characteristic unpleasant smell, the animal is given cheap food, it is kept in a cage), turn around and go to another place.
It is worth paying attention to the parents of the kittens (you will be able to understand what your “plush” will be like). Look at the color, weight and other features.
If your Briton is a ginger cat , then his offspring will be the same.
Please also pay attention to the fact that kittens should not be purchased before 12 weeks of age, as they still need maternal care.

Features of care
As we said above, the British are unpretentious cats. They do not require special care either in eating or grooming.
Their maintenance is simple and will not bring much trouble.
Combing
The plush fur of the British is a pleasure to care for.
Cats need to be brushed infrequently, twice a week is enough.
This must be done with a furminator or a massage brush with steel bristles, movements should be made in the direction and against the growth of the hair.
And the rest of the days you can just run your wet palms over the fur and collect all the excess.
This type of wet cleaning should be done as often as possible so that the wool does not remain on the carpets and furniture.
It is worth bathing as needed (2-4 times a year), with special products from the pet store.

Content
When keeping British cats, you only need to take into account that they need secluded places and some other points.
They love their privacy, preferring not to be disturbed during their alone time.
Equip several “climbing areas” with a perch for them, think about having a house and dense boxes in secluded places - believe me, your “plushies” will appreciate it.
The British are excellent hunters, they are happy to walk on the grass and chase something alive.
Give them walks in the fresh air, and don’t forget to wear a tick and flea collar .
When arranging a toilet for a cat , you should take into account that he loves to rummage, so buy a tray with high sides or a toilet house.

Otherwise, the maintenance of the British is no different from the standards: take care of the claws (take care of the scratching post ), look after the ears and eyes, feed properly, not forgetting about clean drinking and give love.
Nutrition
The question of what to feed a British cat cannot be answered unequivocally, since it all depends on your choice ( natural or dry food ).
It is important not to overfeed the cat, because no matter how much you give them, they will eat everything, because they are real gluttons by nature.
Meals should be regular and balanced. When it comes to dry food, give preference to more expensive options, taking into account the characteristics of your pet.
If a British cat sees meat on the table, he will definitely check how fresh it is.
Speaking about natural nutrition, I would like to note that we are not talking about human food.
It is important to understand that the animal has its own characteristics of the digestive system, and it should not be given sweet, salty, fried or spicy foods.
Improper nutrition entails various disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs of the animal.
Natural food for a British cat is: lean meat (boiled or scalded) and offal, cereals, vegetables, eggs, low-fat fermented milk products and water (fresh, clean).
The British cat needs to be fed 2-3 times a day.
Health
Considering the efforts of the breeders, the British were in good health.
These cats are prone to obesity and tearfulness, but otherwise are susceptible to the same diseases as cats of other breeds.
Characteristic diseases
If you do not properly care for your pet: feed it poorly, do not provide proper care and do not take care of its mental state, then it may develop one of the following diseases:
- KSD, cystitis, nephrosis and other diseases of the genitourinary system;
- Bronchitis, rhinitis and other respiratory diseases;
- inflammation of the spinal cord and neuroses;
- stomatitis, pharyngitis, ulcer
- and many other diseases.
British kittens are excellent camouflages
Vaccinations
The Briton needs to have some vaccinations , before which it is important to give the kitten anthelmintic drugs.
- Produced in 10-12 weeks. This is a rabies vaccine (trivalent). It repeats after 3 weeks.
- The rabies vaccination is given after changing teeth and is repeated annually.
