The teddy-bear cat with a plush blue coat.
The British Shorthair is a sturdy, round-faced cat best known in its blue-grey ("British Blue") form. Descended from Roman working cats and later refined in Victorian England, it has a dense, crisp coat and a famously calm, easygoing temperament.
British Shorthairs are undemanding companions that prefer to sit near you rather than on you. They are not big lap cats and often dislike being carried, but they are deeply loyal, tolerant and quiet — a good match for calm households and people who want an independent yet affectionate cat.

The dense coat needs weekly brushing, rising to two or three times a week during spring and autumn moults when the plush undercoat sheds heavily. The breed is prone to weight gain, so measured feeding and interactive play are important to keep them fit.
