Advantages: clean

Disadvantages: expensive vets bills

Overview
-----------
Cats are my favourite animal by far. They are the cleanest, frienliest animals around (dog lovers will of course say otherwise)! There are so many different breads of cat around to choose from but i will talk about the British Shorthair as thats what ive got.

Temprement
----------------
British Shorthairs have a very temperate nature and are very loving and affectionate. As long as you've had the cat from being a kitten you shouldnt have any problems with them and children. Thay are very playful and love lots of attention - many are also very bright and inquisative.

Looks
-------
British Shorthairs come in a range of colours (ours is black and white) Their fur is reatively short and doesnt get matted like other long haired breeds. They DO NOT need brushing as the cats do this themselves (for about 5 hours a day!)

Possible Problems
---------------------
These cats are lucky in that they dont seem to have the problems that some other breeds do. As their fur doesnt cover their eyes they have good sight and rarely get infections. They dont get matted and theyre less likely to get fleas (although they probably will once in their lives unless they have a collar). As with all cats they need to be wormed.

Overall
---------
These cats make great family pets and are so clean to keep (ours never uses his litter tray, preferring to go in the neighbours garden!) I would recommend this breed to anyone looking to get a cat or kitten.

Summary: great breed of cat
