The detail
A stocky, dense-coated cat descended from Britain’s street and farm cats and refined for the show bench. It is calm and self-contained, happy near its people but rarely on them, which suits owners who work.
What to weigh
A British Shorthair gains weight easily and often dislikes being carried. Lines outcrossed to Persians can carry kidney disease, so testing matters more than coat color.
