I have been battling stage IV breast cancer for 7 years now. After my diagnosis, the only thing on my bucket list was getting a British Shorthair. I ended up with two--a blue and a tabby. They are one of the reasons I have lived so long with my diagnosis.

We have a rescue, Sidney, who must be at least part British Shorthair. He is blue and looks very much like this cat, but he's bigger, 22 lbs. He has many of the characteristics, but no papers. He is extremely intelligent and lovable. If he were a person he'd be doing puzzles. We love him sooo much. We have another cat, a Calico, who keeps him active, otherwise he'd be a complete couch potato.

I love their British shorthair faces 🥰!!! I love how when they look up, it looks like they are grinning 😂

Very cute cat.

I am thinking of buying not only one but a dozen of British shorthair cats 🙂🙂🙂

My British shorthair is very vocal. He doesn't like sitting on my lap but enjoys petting. He is very playful and energetic. At the beginning he was very picky with food, but now he has learned to eat or less he will have no food. He was kinda addicted to a cat food with sugar so I had to feed him another without sugar. He is very collected. He hasn't scratched me once and he doesn't like to use his claws on me.

He's just so beautiful

Nice. Mine is a girl. She's soo playful ,loving and smart. And she does a lot of chirping noises. Love her so much

British Shorthairs are my favourite breed

BSH is round and very cute❤

This is really helpful because we are thinking of getting one. But we were told they don’t like sitting on your lap. So it’s nice to see!

My British sitting on my lap Everytime she sees I'm chilling, she loves petting 😊and daily at 5am she's lying on top of me to wake me up,, keeps meowing

Mochi seems like a stand up cat respect to big fella

I prefer the irl uploads! It’s how YT was in its glory days… not shunning the productions a lot of YT has become (I will watch when a subject catches my eye- and also alllll the film students exercising their crafts who may not have found work have an outlet…that aside; I truly love straight uploads)… very authentic and exactly what social media used to be- a way for common ppl to just share our lives and find community…mochi is too cuuuuute!!!

As an owner of 9 British shorthairs over 20 years, I can attest they are a wonderful breed. It is true they usually don't like to be on your lap. However I have several who gradually warmed up to lying in my lap, some I have now still won't sit on me. Mochi obviously loves being close to you. Brits are cuddly and fun or they can be somewhat aloof. They will come to you when they want affection but may only want to lay by your side. One point, if you buy a purebred Brit, the breeder may suggest you do not let them wander outside. I would suggest this just to keep them safe, regardless of breed but that's due to having some outdoor TNR cats get hit by cars. Brits are wonderful companions and so handsome. Thanks for sharing Mochi on KZfaq 🙂

He's gorgeous

His smile is infectious! 😻

He's Beautiful 😍 loved your video. Don't change your natural style

He is so beautiful, Love him :)

What a cutie !!!

He's so handsome and adorable the king of KZfaq videos 🏆

A lovely boy - nice that youve got a following ! The cutest types (after my previous 2 tortoiseshells) with their round faces

beautiful cats , they are amazing 🥰

I have a bengal a black cat and a tuxedo cat.... All completely different. Last few weeks I have a British blue shorthair in my garden...... Making himself home through my cat flap and not once any of my cats have had an. Issue........ Taking him to get scanned.. Hopefully we find his parents....... If not, he's got the best home after his last home........ He's So relaxed and confident......

I had a husky, talk about shedding! But I loved him so much. Some of our intimate moments were grooming he loved it ❤ I couldn’t keep him(Takoda) after my stroke and I miss him terribly 😢😢😢

He is absolutely gorgeous. I got a lilac British short hair at 14 weeks and she is now 4 months. She is adorable 😍 Trixie. X

Nice vid! Mochi is cute! This will be helpful cuz I might get one

I love your cat.

This is a really great video, thank you very much. Our cat Sammy is the same. But he also likes to talk.

I like the video 💖 thanks

such cutie

Oh myyy your cat is a lap cat😢 ive been having second thoughts about getting a bsh since the internet says theyre not but oh my, such a precious boy

cute ❣️😍🐈‍⬛

Neghbour s cat roams around, looks the same. Even comes to our flat like it s his lol

Nice one 😀.

I was watching the tail movement.....Exactly the same as my Brit....Mine is a short hair chocolate silver tabby...They're so cool!

We had an American Shorthair who just died and are probably getting a British shorthair next. Very helpful video!

Lovely. We’re getting two BSH kittens in mid January having lost our beloved bengals (16&18years old😢 in 2023)

My bsh is named Mochi too!! He is 4 month rn. Beautiful kitty

Very nice and interesting movie. Thank you.

He is very cute and beautiful

Thanks for the informative video! Do you happen to know how they get on with dogs or it depends if they have grown up with them? I LOVE Mochi what a cutie!

cute Mochi

So süß ❤. Mein Kater Henry sieht genauso aus ❤❤❤

My Dorito is also fussy with food this is why he only gets Royal Canin cos he doesnt like other foods

Mochi is a sweet kitty🤍 Any recommendations for a certified BSH breeder in Southern California?

Yes!!

such of boss Mochi!

👍😊

I cat sit a short British cat for six days and I was so sad after he left. Definitely therapeutic cat. I’m thinking getting one. Thank you for your video.

He’s so cute. I wanted a gray BSH, there’s something about gray cats I find appealing. Ended up getting a silver BSH and he is the love of my life ❤ They are really intelligent and I love how gentle they are. My kitten loves routine and he will be sitting at the door where I keep the wand toys behind to show me he’s waiting for playtime. If I’m falling behind on the next routine thing of the day he meows at me but is never overly loud or annoying about it. He likes his own space while sleeping (I think bc I made him sleep outside of my bedroom from ages 3 months to 5.5 months) so he’ll prefer to sleep on the chair in my room now. Recently I was having a nightmare in my sleep and he jumped from his chair to the bed to lay at my feet. I honestly wasn’t a cat person until I made a friend of a neighbour’s Siamese cat and having my own cat has far exceeded my expectations and broken previous misconceptions about cats that I had. That made me realize how empathetic cats are and it feels more special since they choose to give that affection not because they’ve been bred to like dogs.

Yes.

You’re so lucky! Bsh’s never get on anyone’s lap, mine two don’t! I wish they would

mine won't sit on your lap and doesn't like being picked up, both of these are common.. My BSH female cat tray doesn't smell

never had an animal but if I had a cat I would love for it to sit on my lap like that

If all you know is dogs, be aware, cats are a different species! And very differerent in needs and behaviour. If you respect that difference they will respond and grow in their relationship with you. (One thing to note dogs wag their tails when happy, cats when not happy, and rubbing their fur the wrong way will be very uncomfortable to them and make them unhappy). This is a lovely cat. He is a cat. I'm sure you will develop that special connection with him some day as you grow together.

We have a British Shorthair

They look very similar to a Russian Blue. Russian Blue has almost emerald/green eyes but the fur/coat is similar.

I wonder does he disappears into the house and how do you find him? I have a stray that loves to come into my apartment for a quick feed and often roams about and if I were to take my eyes off of her she would just disappear.

We need this breed friend I'm from India

I use the equi groomer to help get rid of the loose hairs. Now she rarely sheds when I pet her

Whats the price range of that cat breed? and where could I buy one?

We have two short hair brothers that we got from the animal shelter. They are real sweet calm friendly cats and they spend the whole day outside in the garden but they would never leave it. But be prepared for getting presents from your cat we have had a blue tit, mouse and squirrel so far😂

Do you brush him often?

Do you work at home? If not how do you think the cat is being left alone. You didn't get two I noticed. He doesn't seem to be too vocal either. I was told that they are vocal. How about health issues? But I think you said this cat is fairly young. Less than two years I believe.

U should pinch his cheeks. I do that with my cat. He doesn't mind it 🤭

Brits are my favorite because they have fat heads (esp the toms) and they have soft plush coats. They probably smell really good too.

Hi do they pee in random areas? Specifically males?

do you let him outside

heb zelf 14 jaar een brits korthaar gehad ik mis hem nog elke dag super kat ook een kater

How old is your baby in this video ??

Polite Gentlemans from GB

Je suis bien sûr mon papa ‼️‼️😂💌😻😻

Our cat name is the same😂 still britishshort hair boy-7 years old.

You bought Mochi? You mean he bought you in a slave auction?

I dunno mate, I disciplined my cat same breed, I think it’s more to do with the personality

How old🤍🤍🤍

thinking, yes. Buying, no

Mine def not peaceful btw does urs so silent meows

I’m owned by two British Shorthairs. I find they have a strange fascination with the bathroom, enjoy making slutty poses and will sometimes drive you absolutely crazy. They’re worth it though - they’re great cats!

The good part is that it will treat you like a king,the bad part is that it will probably have bad teeth.

Hey mochi

You’re British but you say bro like an American. I’m confused 😂

No leave the cat free

No.

No, I am not thinking of buying a phony exotic breed of cat, how about a shropshire longtail or a london kinkyear?` Can't believe you people can sell these cats as something special when there are thousands in shelters. Get a Grip

I find them rather ugly for a cat. Their ears in particular. So no shorthair for me. I got a black beautiful moggy with proper ears. But bless you and your cats (all sorts) nevertheless
