Behaviour and personality

The British Shorthair is an easy going, intelligent cat who enjoys affection but isn’t needy and dislikes being carried. They’re not lap cats, but they do enjoy snuggling next to someone on the sofa and they will follow you from room to room, more out of curiosity than anything else.

Well known for their placid, kind and affectionate nature, the British Shorthair loves being involved in everything and they’re slow to mature, meaning they keep their kitten like playfulness as adults.

As they get older, they can become increasingly sedentary, however males are often more rambunctious than the reserved females.
