British Shorthair Reviews

I first fell in love with British shorthaired cats in 1995 when I acquired my little princess Casey. I had seen the cats in an advert (for sheba cat food I think) and I loved how velvety their fur looked and the big round bright orange eyes. I found a local breeder from Cat World and contacted her. She had a litter available and we went to see ...  Read the complete review

If you are looking to add a cat to your family, I can't recommend this breed highly enough. Proper cats! A bit of a story I am afraid!...Last year my parents found a ginger cat living under a bush in their garden. It was a lovely little cat, very friendly and just seemed to love people. Six weeks later it was still living under the ...  Read the complete review

It was about three years ago that my husband and I decided that we would add to our family by getting a kitten. My husband had never had a pet before in his life, had no particular views on cats but he did know how happy it would make me. I had a few cats during my childhood; my most loved being Billy who died about ten years ago when he reached ...  Read the complete review

Since my husband and I got married just over 2 years ago, we began talking about getting a kitten. I have had cats all my life, and when I left home, all my pets stayed with my mum and dad. They only live two minutes away so I would still see them every day. But my new house simply wasn’t a home without a pet. I’m sure anyone with a pet will tell ...  Read the complete review

They want feeding every 5 minutes, they cry and often wake you up at night, so it is no wonder that getting a cat is often the first sign of commitment between a couple, before they go the whole hog and get the baby! Well this is how it was for us, my husband decided that he wanted a cat and as I had never lived in a house ...  Read the complete review

I own a beautiful blue tabby British shorthaired kitten; Levi is now 7 months old. If you can't imagine what he looks like then if you've seen the recent Whiskas advert where the cat goes to the dinner table and the camera zooms in on his face. Picture that cat and then you will have a rough idea of Levi, one difference is that the cat on ...  Read the complete review

I've always wanted a cat, having grown up with cats at home. But being at work all day, I didn't think it would be fair to the cat to leave it for so long. 4 years ago, I moved into a large cottage in the country & changed my job, this was perfect for a cat. I had been worried in my previous house about my rather expensive sofa & hi-fi. I ...  Read the complete review

It is easy to assume that British shorthair cats are just “pedigree moggies”, because in many respects they are similar to the everyday cat you see in most streets, sitting on fences or sunning themselves on door-mats. But a pedigree British Shorthair has several distinctive feature which help you to identify them. For example, they ...  Read the complete review

I have a lovely British Blue cat and would recommend them to anyone. The other contributor whose cats had dietary and chewing problems was unlucky as this can happen to non-pedigrees. Brit shorthairs are placid and affectionate and home-loving, specially if neutered. They have lovely chubby teddy bear faces and wonderful fur. After purchase they ...  Read the complete review

We've recently had one of our cats neutered? She's obviously not been too happy about it in the past but seems to have settled down quite well now. Now, what I've noticed is that marble, my cat, was very timmid before 'the op' and never really tried to get much attention. Sort of shy and retiring. But since 'the ...  Read the complete review

I have had my two British Shorthairs for about a year now. They are just like children to me and I wouldn't part with them for the world. (However, my bank manager would probably think otherwise) The cost of buying the cats has been nothing in comparison to the vets bills which they have incurred. Each of them have fallen ...  Read the complete review
