British Shorthair

  • Life Span: 12 to 17 years
  • 7 to 17 pounds
  • Origin: Great Britain

The British Shorthair is native to England, being recognized by the American Cat Association in 1967, but they officially accepted it in 1980. In general, males are larger than females, and they can weigh more than 20 pounds.

They have a friendly and loving personality, making them excellent family companions. Even though they like to be the center of attention, they are not needy. They will generally follow you around the house and watch you if you are busy. Although they like to sit next to you on the sofa, the British Shorthair won’t usually sit on your lap.

Moreover, they are not that active, so they will transform into a couch potato when they become adults. That being said, try to take care of their diet, because otherwise, they tend to become overweight.

    Is it true that my Siamese has more trouble with allergies and tend to itch a lot of outside in the spring,summer,&fall when pollen and weeds and falling leaves are abundant. Coco seems to itch a lot and suffer like me during this time of year. I take over the counter generic benadryl to help me.
