The Ultimate British Shorthair Guide
About British Shorthair
This cat is appropriately named, as it originates in Great Britain and has a short coat. It is one of the oldest recognised breeds in the world.
Lifespan
12 to 20 years
Weight
Males: Five to 20 nine kilograms Females: Three to six kilograms
Height
30 to 35 cm
Grooming
The British Shorthair has moderate-to-high grooming needs, depending on the season. Weekly brushing is suggested to remove dead hair and skin cells. Daily brushing is advised when the cat’s coat is knotted, thickening, or thinning.
Origins
In the late 1800s, a professional cat breeder named Harrison Weir developed the British Shorthair by crossing different felines. Through intensive breeding programmes, he transformed this cat into a pedigreed breed which became very popular in Britain.
During World War I, however, many British Shorthairs were killed. Nevertheless, they remained one of the top-ranked breeds in Britain. Today, they are recognised by cat registries all over the world.
Because of their easygoing and mellow nature, British Shorthairs make great family pets. They tend to get along well with both humans and other animals, especially when socialised at an early age.
Common Health Issues & Considerations
British Shorthairs may suffer from:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hyperthyroidism
Kidney issues
Cystitis
Heart disease
Nature / Temperament
Intelligent, gentle, playful, affectionate, and loyal
Suitable Environment
This breed isn’t too particular about where it lives as long as you interact with it. It is, however, recommended that you keep your cat indoors to protect it from diseases and danger.
Other Considerations
Just like other felines, this breed likes having a cat post to play, sleep, and exercise on.
It is recommended that you always support the back of your cat when picking it up as doing otherwise can make it uncomfortable.
This cat is medium to large in size when fully grown, so it is suggested to purchase at least two oversized litterboxes for it.
Average cost of a British Shorthair
British Shorthair For Sales typicaly range between $1000 and $1200AUD.
How can I take good care of my British Shorthair?
Nutrition
It is advised to feed your British Shorthair premium quality cat food that is high in protein and low in empty calories, fat, and vegetable ingredients. Focus wholly on giving it meats, and avoid feeding it dairy or grains. Wet cat food is preferred over dry food. Water is preferred over milk.
Despite its fairly large size and muscular build, this breed’s nutrition must be carefully controlled. This is because it is prone to becoming overweight, so it is recommended to measure its food portions and keep an eye on its eating habits.
Grooming
Because its coat is short and smooth, the British Shorthair requires only weekly grooming. However, its coat should be brushed or combed daily during shedding season.
Like most cats, this feline does a wonderful job of keeping itself clean, which means a bath is rarely needed. Weekly nail trimming is recommended, and daily teeth brushing is suggested to avoid periodontal disease.
Recommended Grooming Tips
To remove eye discharge, wipe the corners of your British Shorthairs eyes with a soft, damp cloth.
It is advised to regularly check your cat’s ears for wax buildup or mites. Remove dirt using a soft cloth or cotton ball that is moistened with half warm water and half cider vinegar. Refrain from cleaning your breed’s ears using cotton swabs to avoid damaging the insides.
Felines, in general, are fussy about their bathroom hygiene. This is why it is suggested that you make sure your cat’s litterbox is always absolutely clean.
Exercise
British Shorthair kittens are quite energetic, but they usually start to mellow down by the time they are 12 months old. A great way to exercise a kitten and keep it entertained is by giving it a toy to play with.
Older cats are still playful but not as active anymore. Sometimes, you will find them just wanting to sleep all day. Other times, you will find them climbing structures.
Bear in mind that these felines are prone to weight gain, so daily exercise plays an important role in keeping them healthy. Aside from providing your British Shorthair with playthings or a cat post, you can also let it play with balls, lasers, fishing wands, and other interactive toys.
Training
The British Shorthair is intelligent and a quick learner, making it a trainable breed. It can take instructions well, so it is easy to teach new skills like using a litterbox, begging for treats, and eating on its own. A great way to train it is by using a clicker. This breed tends to be independent, which can make you think it is mischievous. Patience and avoiding punishments are recommended.
This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.
This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.
This cat is medium to large in size and quite big-boned. It has strong jaws, a well-developed muzzle, a muscular neck, a broad chest, and thick legs. Eye colours are wide-ranging, including copper, blue, and gold.
Its coat is thick and becomes even thicker in the winter. It comes in a variety of colours such as brown, silver, black, blue, white, red, and cream. Patterns range from solid to shaded, and from bi-colour to tri-colour.
Compared with other felines, the British Shorthair is a moderate shedder. It sometimes, however, experiences shedding during the spring and fall seasons.
To ensure you bring home a healthy cat, it is recommended to buy from a responsible breeder. A British Shorthair for sale typically costs between AUD $2,000 and $5,000.
