      I've wanted a British Shorthair every since I saw Church, the cat in "Pet Semetary". I purchased my own Brit kitten 6yrs ago, from a private breeder, as a retirement gift to myself. Rocky is the perfect companion, quiet, independent, and loving. He does not like to be picked up, and carried around, but frequently gives me kisses, and makes "biscuits" on his own terms. He's very sociable. Rocky thinks everyone who comes to my house is there to visit him, and every package delivered belongs to him.

    Very accurate description! I have a gorgeous lilac queen. She's 3 years old and I have her for 6 months now. She's very easy going with kind nature. She doesn't like to be picked up but loves petting especially around face,ears and head,but touching thighs, belly or paws is a bed idea- she'll run away. She welcomes me when I get home and follows me around everywhere around the flat or balcony. When she's resting she likes to keep body contact with me,so there will be always paw or back touching me. She sleeps with me in bed,somewhere around my legs. She's not scared of guests and is relaxed around new people too. She's not interested in my food,likes only her dry food. I often have to throw away wet food if it's not particular texture,flavour or brand. Not very chatty cat as well, only from time to time. She loves watching cat entertainment on TV such as birds, bees or fishes. Easy to co-exist with my Molly.

    My 12-year-old Brit was a stray that was left at the end of someone's driveway. She is vocal with a sweet little meow unless she is fighting with her tuxedo cat sister. Then she lets out a lion-like growl of discontent. Her chubby cheeks that remind one of a teddy bear are her best feature- so cute. Bedtime is her favorite time as she meows excitedly on the bed while I get ready. The two of us watch cat videos on the iPad as she snuggles by my side. She is a treasure.

    I have a nearly 6 yo British shorthair cat, he's absolutely adorable. A little aristocrat for sure, he's very gentle and never pushes obstacles out of his way, he simply walks around or jumps over them. He's often home alone while I'm working and I've never come home to a mess caused by him. He doesn't like being picked up, but he allows me to do so every once in a while, so I can cuddle him for half a minute or so and then he expects me to gently put him down and leave him alone again. He does like to stay close to me throughout the apartment though, always laying nearby and he's happy to get petted every now and then, even accepting kisses on the head, neck and belly. Very rarely he comes to directly seek my attention, but he plays quite a bit on his own. He's a great companion for people who want a fluffy roommate that's quite independent as well.

    After 35 years of breeding Brits, I can say that the video is fairly true to form. During WW1 and WW2 there was an attraction to "blue" cats but most pedigreed cats, no matter what breed were desimated by the wars. The introduction of other cats on the UK isles built the breed back up. But also introduced other patterns and color varietites. The Brit is a "supervisor" and "manager" of the household. They know everything that's going on in their world. It is true they do not like to be held but they will sit by you near you and very in touch with what you are doing. Brits are a strong independent family companion.

    Thanks for the information, and especially for your notes to avoid unethical breeders and scammers. There are so many wonderful cats at shelters that make the best companions and need our care! Jus over a year ago I rescued/adopted my first cat, and it's been a rewarding and challenging journey. We are growing to really love each other. I also notice is how much she listens and picks up on. And from your video I just learned that she is a British Short Hair! She fits your description almost to a T - other than she likes a short pick up cuddle every day, and she has some past trauma so we had to work together to stop her scratching when she got triggered. We did that mostly through talking, no punishment, just me saying ouch and explaining to her then it hurts, point to the scratch, saying gently but firmly "be gentle" then letting her be. That sounds crazy but it really worked! Just talking and letting her "process". I notice cats do listen, they just take a little time to process what we say, whereas dogs respond more quickly. Thanks again for this info, now I know the breed of my dear cat companion!

    I absolutely adore these. We have a 6 year old british shorthair boy (a colorpoint with blue eyes, so cute) and he's amazing. He's actually very vocal and loves to cuddle - mostly with me and not so much with my fiancé tho. He doesn't like being picked up, but enjoys petting. He's mostly lazy but has bursts of energy and runs around the house here and there, or he plays with our other kitty. He can also be very jealous. We got a new kitten this year, a Maine Coon girl, and he's not verry happy when I pay attention to her instead of him. But in general they get along pretty well - we got her cuz we noticed he was quite lonely and sad when we weren't at home, so this way he has a companion :3

    As I have first hand experience with this breed. I will say this is the most coolest cat breed ever. Extremely goofy and sometimes outlandishly stubborn. Mostly a couch potato. Every cat breed is different and has unique traits and personalities but BSH breed is really something truly unique. Once you own this breed of cat, some how every other breed feels like they are just ordinary cats in terms of personalities. This is the BEST cat to have around as they are super friendly with everything. They will even snuggle up to complete strangers.

    Love the ones that have more Persian genes with the small, set far apart ears. It's super cute when a British cat behaves like a "puppy" and plays fetch. I was pleasantly surprised when my British Silver brought a toy mouse back to me to toss for him again. I highly recommend getting them into the habit of playing with toys early on and staying active, especially after neutering, which is when they tend to become more "lazy" and gain weight. My male British silver loves his toy mice and can keep himself engaged for hours just kicking those around. I also find that he loves hairball toys that I create from hair brushed off from himself (lol), and he loves these more than his toy mice (a little narcissist there loving his own scent!). The British is definitely my favorite breed and the kittens are just so adorable with their oversized heads and perpetual smile.

    G'day. My British Shorthair male is 30 months old, from a recognised breeder. Contrary to breed characteristics, he loves being picked up and carried on shoulder, and will sit quietly on my lap for hours at a time. He tends to have seperation anxiety if I work away for more than 2 days , even in the company of my wife. 95% inside cat, but when outside will hunt and pounce on any moth, butterfly or moving item. He had never been outside before 18months old , and I think he believed that the Sky was going to fall on him, but with time and encouragement is semi comfortable in yard, as long as he has company. BEST CAT I HAVE EVER HAD, and reciprocates all the love he is given.

    I just adopted two female 12 week old British shorthair(dad) X Ragdoll(mom) mix. It is only my second day with them and I could say that I truly adore them. One of them loves to be picked up and the other does not. One has short hair the other one is a little fluff ball but they are both oh so freaking gorgeous. They can be the calmest kittens around and then out of nowhere they get a case of the zoomies and start darting and roughhousing together. I named them Sasha and Porsche(a). Will come back with an update. Strongly recomend this mix and definitely get two from the same liter.

He is absolutely adorable, has the most tender eyes and is so intelligent. I cried yesterday and today, because we are still healing our wounded hearts. Later, we will get the Siberians to keep him company.

    Our beautiful British Shorthair has been a joy to have and is our little Princess. She will be 11 this yr , I agree with most of your comments , she will allow me to pick her up and hold her on my chest and she will snuggle in and purr madly. She almost never makes a sound except purring, however we introduced a new rescue kitten last yr and she will not bond with him and she knows if she growls and hisses he will get into trouble and then it’s almost like she grins and goes back to her bed. She was fine with our older cat but she does not like our ginger boy. She is very precious and does like playing by herself when the others sleep.🇦🇺🌅😻🦋🙏

We have a routine, when i go to bed, she comes and sits with me in bed until i fall asleep. She loves to be petted. I wish I could get another one but I don't think she'll like it.

    I have been lucky enough to have had/have two British shorthair and two Maine coon cats (all males.) The pic at 5:50 shows two young versions of both. The Maine coon is a lot larger and very vocal. If I could pick it would be a 50/50 split, they both have great temperaments, the Brit has a cute pretty boy look with perfect fur while the Maine coon has a more rugged manly appearance as far as cats go. I have owned/own two of each because they are both great breeds.
