At Healthy Pet Co., we see a lot of dog and customers searching for high quality food, treats and loiter and toys for their cats, so believe us when we tell you that a very popular breed in Australia is the British shorthair. The British shorthair cat is by far a popular cat but did you know they are one of the oldest recognised breeds? They are also known to be incredible cute with their iconic British Blue coat, but do come in a variety of colours, another popular version of the British short hair cat is the British shorthair chocolate.
What is the British Shorthair lifespan?
How long do British shorthair cats live? Well, the British shorthair lifespan of between 12-20 years is very common. This longevity makes them easily one of the more robust breeds. It’s a long happy life to be born a British shorthair kitten.
Are British short cats affectionate?
Their teddy bear face is adorable and just makes you want to cuddle them, but are British shorthair cats affectionate? They are laid back, and great living companions and can be very loving, but are certainly not clingy. Love is shown on their terms so keep the constant hugging to a minimum if you don’t want to exasperate them.
How do I care for a British shorthair cat Australia?
British shorthair cats are generally very easy to maintain and care for, despite their thick coat. Do British shorthair cats shed? Well yes they do, but regular brushing is easy with their short fur, and will help reduce hairballs and shedding. They love to play, climb and explore just like all cats, so ensure they can perch up on something high like the PRYDE range of cat furniture as it will satisfy their natural need for mental and physical stimulation.
Are British shorthair cats hypoallergenic?
Whilst they have short hair many think this makes them hypoallergenic. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Whilst regular grooming can help reduce allergens, they still shed dander and produce the common allergen protein through their saliva and skin oils.
