British Shorthair

Felis catus

Hauska Fakta

British Shorthairs are the inspiration for the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland — Lewis Carroll based the character on the breed's distinctive round face and smile.

One of the oldest English breeds with a stocky, cobby body, round head, and famously dense, plush 'teddy bear' coat. Calm, dignified, and easygoing. The blue (grey) British Shorthair is iconic, but they come in many colors.
