My British Shorthair was the exception and loved to be held like a baby, cuddled and would sleep in your lap 💜 she passed age 13.

@@lizaprideaux I love your videos I also want to buy a Brit short hair 14 weeks …. I have a question? … what kind of liter box do you have/use especially because of the smell and what kind of food you give him ? Dry or wet food or maybe both? … and the last question how manny times do you feed them a day 3 or 4 times ? For example 12:00 -15:00 - 18:00 -21:00 etcetera beside a snack occasionally thx if can help me with these questions 😊

Gigi is so lovely! Thanks for sharing the information 🙂 I have a 9 months old male British shorthair and he’s similar to how you described Gigi’s personality, with a big difference: he’s actually not an independent cat! He’s demanding and I wasn’t expecting that, having researched the breed. He’s an amazing cat though and luckily for him we are at home most of the time so can play with him and pet him very often!

@gabriellemontet4325 2 жыл бұрын

In terms of food, he eats wet food three times a day and a spoonful of dry food at night. He gulps down his food so I wouldn’t be able to leave dry food out, he’d just eat it all 😂

@twopercentbattery 6 ай бұрын

@adellaoconnor1960 If they are coming from another home, the cats will feel extremely shy and would probably hide under beds or even stay in the pet carrier for the first few days. When everyone is asleep they do come out, eat their food and do their business as well. It really depends on the environment of your home but I’m sure they’ll attach themselves to you soon enough 👍

She's gorgeous! I just love seeing her! I have 4 male cats and there's no smell. I'll take cats over dogs any day. Also, another misconception about cats is that male cats spray/pee outside the litter box. A healthy, neutered male cat will NOT spray/pee outside the box. The ONLY time I've ever had an issue with this is when my oldest cat first developed Diabetes he would go outside the box every once in awhile. After taking him to the vet and getting his glucose levels in the normal range, I haven't had an issue.

I bought a British short hair without knowing anything about the breed and I must say I got very lucky I got exactly the perfect cat for me not too active very Independent and adaptable. When I want to travel I can leave her at my friends house and I know she will be ok the first time I did that I got nicely surprised by how easily she adapted to her new environment I can’t afford another cat and apparently this breed doesn’t really like sharing their space with another cat so that’s also a good thing overall I really got my purrfect match 😻

I have two 1-year old Brits and they are definitely unique. Like a fashion model, look but don't touch hahaha. Ahh, over the last three weeks they've gotten more friendly daily. Got them from a friend at 10 months that couldn't keep them. ONE BIG benefit of a beautiful $1k cat is if your life changes and you cannot keep them there will be plenty of quality adopters. Hope never, but knowing you won't be taking one to a pound in the future is reassuring. These two are bonded sisters that LOVE each other, walk side by side, take turns eating at their dish. Wrestling matches are entertaining, they love playing with electronic toys, laser chase, or the fax machine.
