The first one is soo true,once he escaped to the garden at night approached a male cat hoping to play,but instead got attack and was traumatized,refusing to eat for 2 days, but eventually he returned back to his old self
arhh bless him
I love my British Shorthair so much, that I now have 2 of them, what a loving, playful, smart cats they are
My British Shorthair girl is the center of our family. We never leave her for more than a day.😻
That’s the way to make a BSH super affectionate! Some don’t like being picked up and aren’t lap cats, but I adopted mine and their person must have spent every moment with them before she went to a nursing home 😢. She gave me a wonderful pair of cuddly teddy cats. 💙
Aww lovely.
My BH just eats a little and whatever she eats, she burns it by running. She is not fat at all, she is like a model.
Lol not mine! They were both very heavy and didn’t want to leave the bed at age 8. I adopted them very obese…their person was a spoiler, but made the sweetest cats before going to a nursing home. I dieted them, and Chessie even shocked me by taking up fast-walking laps through the house. Marched back and forth on her stiff legs, like a little soldier. She became very svelte, but kept her round teddy bear 🧸 face. ❤
My BSH is now 5 years old. He is an ex Show cat, and before I acquired him, he was confined to a cage. Now, after having him for 4 years, he is an independent, well adjusted house cat. Loves walking outside, ( now that he understands that the sky won't fall on him) and is happy to explore his back yard unsupervised. Best cat ever.! Ps..Absolutely loves to be picked up, to the stage he stands on his back legs and insists on shoulder cuddles.
My British shorthair loves to eat a lot of food play and overall sleep she’s also two months old she’s thriving like a tiger
Update she’s five months
How long did it take for her to adapt to her new home and sleep through the night?
@@EleosGames mine was pretty comfortable the first day but it woke me up about 3 times at night
My two never played unless I put the string/toy close enough to their paws but they didn’t have to move. I adopted them as seniors, though. My best two cuddly teddy bear cats ever!
@@EleosGames my short hair Took one day to adapt
Thank you for the tips!
Our teddy❤️ he loves chin rubs and snuggles but hates being picked up
Teddy is a perfect name for a British Shorthair! Mine were Tiger and Chessie (I wanted to let them keep their names but changed Jessie to Chessie, for the Cheshire Cat). I adopted them as seniors; they were my best cuddlers ever, like real live teddy bears. Their person had to go to a nursing home. 😢. But she gave me a wonderful gift 💝. Best motors (purr) on the market. Tiger passed at 14, from asthma. Chessie wowed me and lived to a healthy 23. She wasn’t even ill, just had mild dementia & passed in her sleep. I upgraded Chessie’s health plan when I got a new job after Tiger died, so the vet care REALLY is important. I really want another, but heard most BSHs are not cuddlers? Mine did crab when picked up, but when I put their arms around my neck in a secure hug, the motor revved up fast! What’s your experience?
😢my too
Same with my elder sister's Teddies.
It's really tempting to pick them up though.
Since they look like giant teddy bears at the birthday shop. 😻
But cuddle time is always worthwhile, when everyone's happy.
@@misbahailia3345 ahh yes you’re so right I just wanna touch or cuddle Teddy permanently 😂❤️
I have got a British shorthair cat and she is adorable l have had cats all my life but the British shorthair are the best they are lovely ❤ the best
They are so adorable cats ! You have no idea how much you will love them! My Bruno has got such a good soul … he is very good with my kids too! I love him ! The whole family does !
Our British short hair recently stopped eating, the vet found he had constipation, bacterial infection and low vitamin D. We feed him Royal Canine hard and soft food for British Short hair. The vet gave him antibiotics through a cannula for a week. We are now giving him beaphar Top 10 and malt paste with vitamins on alternate days. Is this sufficient? He is a year old and weighs 4.3 kg. Pls suggest if we are taking the right steps. He seems to be recovering well.
We got a 2 months old Russian Blue cat recently. Very energetic and playful. Your vidio is helpful.
My uncle's cat british short hair was now so skinny i want to adopt him cause no one likes him but i don't anythings to help him
my british shorthair is like a sumo
My two BSHs were, too! Teddy bear sumo wrestlers…never thought of that before!
Mine is a real prince who finds every which way from Sunday to inconvenience my life.... but he is the best cat ever.
Lol
Make sure cats are treated well
And treat it how you wanna be treated back ❤
I rescued my sweet British Blue from the streets. How anyone could dump a cat like that boggles my mind. She is semi-feral because she survived on the streets and is one tough cat with the British shorthair genes. I love her to the moon and back but we are on a journey of switch between bliss to feral terror with her!
Omg who could do that? Where was it? We d do anything to have my maximus back here he was only 5 passed away on sept 2019 he had Hcm , his heart 😰 i love cats
@@dianeharrison4975 I'm so sorry for your loss. Cats are beautiful pets. I suspect my adopted British Blue was dumped because she didn't meet the standard of pedigree. Cannot be sure, but she had definitely been mistreated. She is now my rescue cat and has good days and bad days, days of fear and mistrust and days when she is calm and relaxed, but she is always now loved.
@@kjorsss429 ahh Thankyou so much. Time heals but we miss him. Your poor baby who could mistreat her or any cats I ll never know , she has a good home with you , here’s to many years together🍾 x❤️
@@kjorsss429 I want to know what your profile pic says it’s a cat 😘
@@dianeharrison4975 My profile picture is snapshot of a face focusing on the eye
Mine loves being outside. She has a favourite spot to sleep in the garden and will roll around in the sun. Only when I’m home and know where she is.
4:20 How do people leave their cat alone for 3 days? Much less 10??
When I think of leaving the cat alone, my thought is in how many hours?
More than a day I'm pretty sure you need to find a caretaker to watch over them in your stead
Mine Hi 5's and loves nothing more than to be Vacuumed. Coolest Cat on the planet.
Mine ran and hid from the vacuum cleaner! Otherwise, very calm and cool…had relaxing down to an art!
Please watch their hearts too our darling grey boy maximus was just 5 yo he had to be pts in sept 2019 he had hcm we re heartbroken still. we miss him 😢
My BSH screams whenever i come home from work, he knows that its me opening the door❤hes so adorable❤❤❤at night while scanning my phone he suddenly sat beside me til he get asleep, what a wonderful creature, my stress reliever😍😍😍
My humble request. When around animals put your phone away.
When animals pass away, people regret not being fully present with them.
My mum and I just adopted a BSH kitten. His name is Toby and he is very cute and playful.
Mine doesn’t like to be picked up, but he follows me everywhere and occasionally will come to me for a head bump and chin scratched 😊
I have a British short hair kitten Called Nala. She got chased by a Siamese cat and Nala gets chased all of the time and sometimes the Siamese even try’s to come into the car flap. I found out that your meant to spray mean cats with water so I’ve been spraying it for a few weeks and its not come back in a while! :) thank you for making this video :)
Good looking out for your sweet teddy bear cat! I loved my two BSHs. I need another!
My British short hair cat is so adorable. His name is Jasper. He's all white gives me a back m4assage and I give him a treat so cute.
hi i just adopted a british shorthair cat, he is very sweet and wants me to pet him but there was a time he got angry suddenly as i pet him and keep meowing to me and he stares like hes very angry to me and he dont want me to much him. im observing he did it to me 3 times now- pls help😢😢😢😢
Ours insists on being brushed everyday, she loves a brush, In fact I cant brush my hair first.
I had one before
Cute and adorable 🥰😘🥰😘
My British short hair blue lovely kind
I just bought it a week ago. But she is sleeping all the time. The time that she is awake is when we are sleeping 😆.what should I do! And i thing she is pregnant
We found a british short hatır in house garden we have this çat this çat is beautiful but çat is always another çat in the garden somtimes trip in the garden it ilkes trip and fighting time to time it take wright but we like this çat alto it is differnt the another cat
My BSH cat loves to chase balls and ropes... 😆
Mine would only play if they didn’t have to move to reach the toy, but I adopted them as very obese seniors. Soooo sweet, though! 💙💙
Who in their right mind is leaving their pet behind for more than 1-2 days?! o.O This is insanity. Ask someone to catsit and play, go to a temporary cat pension - anything but just don't leave like that - wth. :O
I can’t wait to get mine 😍 I’ve still got more preparation to do and these comments make me even more excited
same!! imn seeing my one on sunday and i cant wait!!! going to be so excited
You’re going to love them. Just adopted one and he’s adorable❤
very shy
Don't pick them up they are not very keen on that.
Mine hated it, until I gave them a big, secure hug and they’d purr loudly. I guess I lucked out! They are big cats (mine were 13-19 lbs.), so I imagine they were more afraid of falling than mg 7 lb. Burmese. One fell off furniture when she got mild dementia, and wiped out bad! We installed a makeshift guardrail system on her favorite bedroom furniture. She did great, after that…lived to be 23. Our other BSH lived only to 14, so Chessie amazed us!
Bullshit , mine sleeps with me and obviously loves been picking up!!!
@@elenapernell5748 naah your baby is probably an exception because all the bsh I saw including mine haaates it
Mine doesn’t like to be picked up neither 😅
That’s interesting! Mine hates being picked up but she will let me if I hold her quite tightly and walk but not if I stand still
Hi! I'm getting a 4-month new kitten (BSH mixed with 1/4 persian) tomorrow for half of its price and I'm not sure with what to take note of... Can yall answer my questions:
• How many times do they take a bath in a month? Grooming?
• Common issues to be aware of? (my mixed persian kitten died from chf cuz we werent told by the one who gave it for free 😢)
• do they like to be pet most of the time?
• do i give them a packet of wet food/day or more? (like splitting the packet for 2-3 meals)
• they are indoors so should I make sure they exercise all the time?
• can they stay in a cold room with a/c set at 20°C? (I live in tropical country)
That's all I can think of right now! All answers would be very helpful ❤❤
Bath one at your own peril unless you own a pair of welders gloves and a full face motorbike helmet.....Seriously, unless your cat has gotten covered in something really nasty, you shouldn't bath it.. It stresses them out and takes all the natural oils out of their fur..
British Shorthairs are susceptible to HCM, which is a heart disease....and PKD, which affects the kidneys..Your breeder should not sell any kittens that have these hereditary issues.. Talk to your vet for more info..These issues don't usually turn out well.
Yes, They love attention....until you go to pick them up...They don't like being picked up...However they will sit on you sometimes...Makes you feel spoilt lol....They are real characters... Never a dull moment.
We give ours one packet of wet Whiskas cat food per day and unlimited Purina One cat biscuits.. You need to keep an eye on their weight....Make sure you get kitten food while they are young.. Don't feed a kitten adult cat food and use good quality food...Yeah! It ain't cheap..
Yes, You need to exercise them.....playing with them is a good way.. They love to play and zoom around the house like a furry torpedo.. Make sure they have plenty of toys like small rattly balls and small stuffed animals.. Ours has a little fluffy shrimp he carts around everywhere in his mouth like it's his teddy bear. You can get all that from any pet shop or department store.
20 degrees C is a good temperature...Hope this helps.. I've had Brits for the last thirty years.. My oldest died at 19 years old, so looked after they have quite a long life span.
British shorthairs are friendly cats? Guess mine didn't get that memo! He is lovely and sweet when indoors, but as soon as he goes outside he unleashes the inner demon that resides in him. And weighing 8kgs, he scares the ever living crap out of the neighbour cats just from his size alone!
Hi srry that I’m late but shall you give it food like breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Yes sure, feeding them 3 times a day is ideal.
Our Sara is soooo cute when she sleeps, and she just looves food ❤
I have to brits and they are soooo cute 🥰
Same here. Their pillow cheeks, are everything. 🥰
They are loveable lovely fluffy adorable and cute and sociable
But do not get on the bad side 🤬
Mine loves to be outside.
I adopted my brittish shorthair KITTEN 3 days ago !! I had a question. Do brittish shorthair kittens like being chased
Chased??
Yes my British likes to play chase with me. She just turned 2 years in June.
Yes, my Luna will play tag with me. She loves playing with balls and the feather wand.
@@biblicalstorm3791Awww, cute!
My eldest sister has two British short-haired brothers 🥰.
I don't know about chased, but they ❤ playing peak a boo.
If they wanna play chase they'll definitely run and then look at you, to chase them.
Their body language is easy to read.
Would you say the first one a must? my British shorthair hates other cats, dogs, etc, and he's been going outside for 11 years now (only at night aswell)
It’s only natural yes, but it can be dangerous for them. A supervised outdoor visit is a better option
Outdoor cats are more likely to get hurt. Why take the chance of letting them roam. Plus if you have a purebred British Shorthair, most breeders frown on letting them outside not too mention how much they cost. Why put them in harms way?
My British shorthair is shy
I didnt know that milk was bad for my british shorthair and im SUPER afraid it might effect the cat PLEASE tell me if there is any way to dring the cat back to normal
Brits are lactose intolerant, which means milk upsets their digestive system...Some people are lactose intolerant too.. It doesn't usually cause any lasting damage...DON'T give anything milk related to this breed.. Fresh clean water is all they need to drink
I have a BSH from Singapore and now he is in Canada. He is super smart and an attention seeker🤣
My cat likes to play and eat too much🤗
Mine sneak out and lost 24 hours luckily manage to find her back, she seem confused to find the house
So glad your cat is home with you, and ok!

I MISS MY British Shorthair
If i am out of hozse 8 hours a day, should i bought second British shorthair ? Oh is 8 hours okay ?
Yes. It will cut down the loneliness.
If you have a boy, buy another boy cat of a similar age.
Some male cats, harass female cats.
I mean I love cats and to play with it and also I’d feed it treats and feed it the right food that it needs and give only water as you can’t give milk to cats but can feed eggs and chicken turkey chicken and other for treats protein is good for breakfast and to groom them daily and give them a bathe but they will clean themselves and you don’t need to leave them alone play with them be sociable with your cat and take them places with you and make sure to make them happy and they will sleep with you they will be sociable but do not abuse your cat bully it and hit it and keep it on diet And make sure it does not overdue diet you need to take full responsibility and make sure to pay order to the cat let the cat free in the garden such as supervise them and let them be themselves 😊❤😊
I don't have a garden so both my cats are safe and sound
That’s the best advice! That and good vet care. Cats hide illness very well, and get crabby or hide when they’re sick. I adopted 2 BSHs at 8 years. One passed away from asthma complications, at 14. I upgraded her sister’s health plan when I got a new job, and she lived to 23! She also had asthma and both had the same heart condition. So, if you can afford it, you’ll have more happy years with good vet care. If not, a warm, loving home, food, shots, alter, treating minor injuries and conditions is a gift. I’ve treated FIV, thyroid, and kidney disease for $20-30 per month and extended lives for years. ❤
I have a 4 and a half Brit blue and he is so loveable. Always wait for me by the door when I get home,doesn't mind getting carried around like a baby and always does his zoomies after eating
I don’t ever recommend leaving any cat for more than 3 days max
Mine likes to be close to me. He’s very affectionate. He just doesn’t like to be picked up or have his paws touched because we declawed his front paws 😢 (never again) he was injured quite bad after that surgery. He’s black & white & I love him so much☺️
why would someone declaw their cat. that’s just cruel
@@murrysaucey it wasn’t me who did it, it was my parents. Years later when we found out how damaging it was/is we regretted it. Trust me I/we how barbaric it truly is to an animal.
Omg poor cat 😞
De clawing your cat, disgusting!
@@mrdrifter3925 like I said it wasn’t me. My parents did it & they regretted after we all learned how damaging it truly is. It breaks my heart that my poor baby has terrible phantom pain in his front claws. 😭
Eh...my fella stays out all night, eats everything, hates the vet, loves chilling alone.....he's sooo happy
No animal is obnoxious
Does anyone know where I can get a British short hair cat ?
Look online for “British breeders near me,” or put your city/state in the search. They are expensive, up to $2,500 in my state, but breeders often rehome a retired breeding cat for half price or even less, and females are only 2-4 years old. Some offer discounts for non-show cats. I still showed mine in Household Pet, and they do great! I had one who made CFA Royalty. British Shorthair rescue organizations have better deals yet. I got my two pedigreed BSHs from the Humane Society for $50. You can call local shelters and get on a breed waiting list, in the US. There are no guarantees but if cost is a factor, do it when you begin your search. Good luck! Sweetest cats ever!
I got bit and i feel so dizzy
Sorry.. You should go get it checked..
@@thecagdot i got better rn also thanks for your advice..
But best (or only) for Americans...
We have a British shorthair too
My brithis shorthair died from heart failure, but it died where he liked to stay waching i nthe garden
Our BSH was terrified of going outside as a kitten.....I think he thought the birds were pterodactyls out to get him...Now he's two years old, built like a brick dunny and rules (terrorizes) the neighbourhood.. Beats up anything with fur on it and is a great hunter...They're not all indoor pussy cats....Apart from that he has all the Brit traits.. Loves attention , hates being picked up.. Follows us around the house...
I am a cat person , but I am even to dogs 😊
Teddy cats🥹🥹🥰🥰
my British is the most unfriendly creature on earth 🤣 there is not a single visitor that didn't bleed, and she almost kill the vet nurse
Is it kind to you?
@@LydiaSantiago yeah, I mean I bleed too, but she just likes to play rough, and I don't mind. deep inside she is nice, just tough on the outside haha
My cat is nice to everyone, except other cats, he'll try murder them on site ifhe sees them in our garden, luckily he's a house cat that we only let out supervised
@@yuwelcome also British?
@@tomshiba8073 yep
The British Shorthair reminds me of a teddy bear !
Their plush coats are lovely, like a teddy bear. We have owned and bred Brits for over 20 years. Wonderful cats, so
beautiful with their copper colored eyes. Very independent, not lap cats but will come lay by you for attention and head scratches. Have several seniors sharing our house at the moment, great companions.
I have 2 cats
1 Oscar
2 Kitty
Oscar is a British shorthair who is active, energetic, and somehow a bit fat
Kitty is a giant cat (maybe a Maine coon) that is very obese and gives oscar a look in the eye when he comes too close.O God how he reacts is always a good laugh
How does he react? Both my BSHs had cattitude, and could handle themselves! One went blind in old age, and beat up a Kleenex box because it got in HER bed! 😂. Very sweet and cuddly kitties with me, always.
