The Docile and Intelligent British Shorthair
British Shorthair Breed Description
British Shorthairs have very dense, plush coats that are often described as crisp or cracking which refers to the way the coat breaks over the cat's body contours. Eyes are large, round and copper in colour. Domesticated Shorthairs have round heads with full, chubby cheeks. Most have a body that is rounded and sturdy. British Shorthairs are large and muscular, and are desribed as having a "cobby" build. The breed has a broad chest, shoulders and hips with short legs, round paws and a plush but not fluffy tail. British Shorthairs that do not fit this breed standard are usually rendered unshowable in cat shows
The British Shorthair is an easygoing breed. It has a stable character and can easily live in an apartment setting. It is not terribly demanding of attention, although it will make its desire for play known if its owner looks available. It is not normally destructive or hyperactive, although it can be playful.
It has become a favorite of animal trainers because of its nature and intelligence, and in recent years these cats have appeared in Hollywood films and television commercials
The males of this breed are larger than the females, and the size difference between them is more easily noticed compared to other breeds.The adult males may also develop prominent cheek jowls that distingush them from their female counterparts.

British Shorthair Colors
The British Shorthair may be any colour or pattern including all solid colours, dilutes, tabby patterns, bicolours and colourpoints. For many years the more popular blue variant was common enough to have a breed name of its own: the 'British Blue'. However now a large variety of other colour and pattern variations appear and are accepted in most breed registery standards. Newer colors include the British Chocolate (Brown), the British Cream (Pale Orange), The British Colorpoint (Colorpoint), the British Tipped (White/Silver) and the very new British Lilac, which although grey, is unlike the British Blue. A development in the past 10 years, the British Lilac is desribed as having a "pink-gray coat."
The typical lifespan of this breed is 9 to 15 years.

British Shorthair Breed Origins
One claim of the British Shorthair's origin is that it was bred for the first time in the 19th century in an attempt to create a beautiful cat out of an alley cat and a domestic cat. The result was a British Shorthair named "Brite", which was presented to the public in 1871 with widespread approval. Almost all British Shorthairs disappeared in the 1940's, but programs started up the breeds popularity once again.
Another claim is presented by F. M. Rowley in her book "British Shorthair Cat" which traces British Shorthair ancestral stock directly back to the domestic cats taken from Egypt to Rome, and later to Britain. Most likely, the ansestors of modern British Shorthair cats arrived to Britain after the 2nd century AD when when the Roman Empire spread to Britain.

British Shorthair Care
The British Shorthair does not require a lot of grooming because the fur does not tangle or mat easily. However, it is recommended that the coat be brushed now and again, especially during seasonal shedding.
The British Shorthair is prone to obesity especially when desexed or kept indoors. They are also known to have teeth and gum issues, more so than the average cat, so keep their teeth clean with raw bones, chicken wings and dental diets to help control tartar.

Paid Writing Opportunties
Gather is a great forum to meet people, read entertaining and informative articles and earn money and gift cards while doing it. On average, I earn approximately $50 a month there just for commenting on articles and submitting a few of my own. The earning potential is definitely higher than that if you want to put more than a couple hours a week into it. Check it out.
MyLot is also a decent moneymaker. It doesn't pay as much for your time as Gather but it is still a worthy time investment. Thus far, I've been able to make the minimum payout every month without any referrals and commenting on posts just a few times a week.
