British shorthair

The British Shorthair is a solid, well-built breed. It has a large, muscular, compact body with a broad chest. The large, rounded head that the breed is known for, sits on a short, thick neck. The eyes are large, round, and wide set, the ears are medium sized and also wide set, and the nose is medium sized. The legs and tail are short and the tail is rounded at the end. This breed weighs from 9 to 18 pounds. This is a hardy breed, whose lifespan is 15 or more years.
The British Shorthair has a short, dense, plush coat with a thick undercoat. The most popular British Shorthair color is blue, but this breed is acceptable in almost any color. The many color varieties are classified into 18 categories: Self Colors, Tabby, Silver Tabby, Tabby and White, Silver Tabby and White, Spotted, Silver Spotted, Tortie Tabby, Tortie, Tortie and White, Bi-color, Smoke, Smoke and White, Tipped, Self Pointed, Tortie Pointed, Tabby Pointed, and Tortie Tabby Pointed.
The British Shorthair is an independent cat that does not need constant social interaction, but still enjoys being around people and other animals. It is a friendly, affectionate cat that is loyal to its family and plays well with children.
As mentioned earlier, this breed is not an especially active cat. They usually enjoy sitting and sleeping more than playing or exercising.
British Shorthairs are hardy cats that suffer from no particular illnesses. However, they are susceptible to becoming overweight or obese, like the American Shorthair. To prevent this condition, simply control the amount of food the cat consumes and play with the cat to increase its activity level. You can also feed it a diet formulated for overweight or obese cats. If your cat is obese, it is important to bring it to a veterinarian for a check-up, to rule out any thyroid or metabolic conditions.
