The Domestic Shorthair cat breed is a friendly and fun loving feline. As one of the oldest cat breeds in Europe, they can make a great addition into your household, but may be shy to new guests. Perfect if you have been finding an excuse to stop the neighbours coming round! Being a calm and easy to please breed, there is nothing more a Domestic Shorthair loves doing than having a quiet day to day, with the option of a cat tree to climb. But don’t be fooled. British Shorthairs love to be the leader of the pack, and they will show it.
