Description of British Shorthair Cat Breed
The British Shorthair breed is recognized and valued for its calm demeanor and loyalty.
This breed is not overly common in the United States but is gaining in popularity every year.
The British Shorthair is easy to groom although their coat is short and plush. They are also a larger sized cat that are not known for speed or grace. The Cat Fanciers' Association recognizes the British Shorthair in many different colors and patterns.
Pricing varies from breeder to breeder but generally the pricing on British Shorthairs depends on type, applicable markings and bloodlines.
Typically breeders of all breeds of kittens release their kittens somewhere between twelve and sixteen weeks of age. The reasoning behind keeping a kitten until after twelve weeks is that kittens have had their basic inoculations. This gives them time to develop the physical and social stability needed to make a smooth transition into their new environment. It is never recommended that a breeder release a kitten before twelve weeks of age as the kittens need this time to develop properly. Releasing a kitten prior to twelve weeks of age is against the law in many states. It is also recommended that you keep all pedigreed cats and kittens indoors and that they be spayed or neutered. Cats and kittens of all ages also need suitable surfaces for scratching, such as scratching posts. Scratching is a natural behavior of the cat breed and declawing a cat is not recommended and is not accepted by the Cat Fanciers Association.
