Friends
I already have a pet (cat or dog) and I want to find him a friend, is the British Shorthair breed suitable for us?
Yes, if:
- a well-mannered, non-aggressive cat/dog, the dog is not prone to attacking small animals
- your cat is not of advanced age (more than 10 years old) without health problems, otherwise she may experience depression/sadness from the new family member
- a friendly dog respects the cat’s personal boundaries and is properly socialized
British cats get along well with other pets and are friendly and peaceful. Playing together between cats and cats/dogs helps keep animals in good shape and entertains them in sad moments when their owners are away from home.
Which toilet is better?
What is the best toilet to use for kittens?
For kittens, I recommend using either wood or lumping toilet.
The toilet should not have a strong odour (perfume additives). Humans have only 5 million receptors that are responsible for the perception of odours, while a cat has 200 million, think about it!
It is better not to buy silica gel fillers, the crystalline particles get on the delicate paw pads and cause discomfort, so cats do not like them, and the kitten can taste them, which is dangerous for its life. Look for the softest toilet available.
For example, we use Zverlit toilet with a coarse particle size.
Safe Walks with Your British Shorthair
Patience and Preparation.
Some British Shorthairs enjoy exploring the world beyond the home — but outdoor walks require time, preparation, and attention to detail. The key is to go slowly and ensure your cat feels safe at every step.
British Cat Colors
There are more than 150 registered colours of British cats.
But we settled on several colors that, in our opinion, best emphasize the beauty of the British Shorthair breed.
How to make friends with a kitten and a child
When there are thoughts of having an animal for a child, it is worth thinking about some points.
Children of primary school age will be a more acceptable age. The child will be happy to play with the British kitten and will even be able to minimally take part in his care, for example, comb a fur coat or feed under the supervision of an adult.
About British Shorthair cats
Why we chose the British cat
One of the reasons for choosing this breed is character - calm, unobtrusive, with a sense of self-esteem, moderate activity and at the same time funny, curious, gentle, loving to spend time with family, children and even dogs.
It will be comfortable to be with him 24/7. And also it is easy to leave alone for the whole day, the British cat will easily find something to entertain himself in your absence.
