Interesting Fact: British Shorthairs were the 6th most popular breed in the United States in 2022. And they don’t generally require much in the grooming department-just regular brushing, teeth cleaning, and nail clipping. They are a relatively healthy breed, with most living 15–20 years. You can also find British Shorthair cats with bicolor, tabby, and calico markings. However, a rich gray is the color most associated with the breed. They come in various coat colors, including black, white, orange, and cream. These incredibly loyal cats usually do well with other cats and friendly dogs, and they interact easily with strange people and adapt well to new situations. Most do fine being left alone for reasonable periods since they aren’t prone to developing separation anxiety.
While they require love, playtime, and attention, British Shorthairs don’t have a reputation for being extremely needy some prefer not to be picked up and cuddled. They tend to be relatively calm, but, like most cats, they enjoy a good play session now and then. Most grow to be around 12–14 inches at the shoulders, and these sizable cats usually weigh 7–17 pounds. They love being around people and often form loving bonds with their humans.
