Welcome to
Melisa’s British Shorthair kittens

Full of British reserve, the British Shorthair cat has a quiet voice and is an undemanding companion.

While not overly affectionate, the British Shorthair tends to get along just fine with everyone. They’re mellow and will tolerate other pets, and even though they may not seek out snuggles at every opportunity, they’re happy to be scooped up for a good cuddle.

While some cats get a reputation for being high-strung and jumpy, the British Shorthair is anything but. If you’re looking for a best buddy who stays calm as a cucumber and won’t do much pestering, this might just be the feline for you.

If you’re considering a pet, you really can’t go wrong with a British Shorthair. These cats are not only ridiculously adorable to look at, with their thick fur and round, amiable faces; they’re also tremendously easy to get along with. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a nicer natured breed in my many years as a cat owner.

I adore British Shorthairs for their charming personalities, gorgeous looks and ease of care (they’re a very low maintenance kitty). Their charming looks and friendly natures have made British Shorthairs tremendously popular across the World.

British Shorthair cat breed

For many years, the British Shorthair has been named as the country’s most popular breed according to the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), and with his affectionate nature and teddy-bear good looks, it’s not hard to see why. As far as personality goes, the British Shorthair is one cool cat. They are one of the most placid breeds around and love nothing more than lazing around the house.

Pam Beard-Smith, breeder and chairman of the British Shorthair Cat Club, says: “They are the most laid-back cats; nothing fazes them and they do make really good pets. Generally they are good with toddlers and children, and I don’t have a problem selling them to families with young children because of their good natures.”
