The British Shorthair, probably the oldest English breed of cat,
traces its ancestry back to the domestic cat of Rome. This breed
was first prized for its physical strength and hunting ability,
but soon became equally recognized and valued for its calm
demeanor, endurance and loyalty to man.
The British Shorthair is gaining in popularity every year as it is
bred and exhibited by an increasing number of enthusiastic
fanciers. Because of its easy-going nature and intelligence, it
has become a favorite of animal trainers, and in recent years many
examples of these cats have appeared in Hollywood films and
television commercials.
The British Shorthair is easy to groom and is a playful but
no-nonsense cat. He tends to be reserved, in fact typically
British by nature, but once he becomes a part of the family he is
a devoted cat and undemanding companion.
