Re: British short hair

I have 2 and like everyone else has said they are the most laid back cats ever (very lazy too) and are completely accepting and tolerant of the cats we have to stay for weekends and rabbits in the house, and rescue kittens. They just sniff them let them get on with it. Everyone who has met them calls them teddy bears. People say that they are not so keen on sitting on you and would rather lie next to you. This is true with Winston but Lola wants to be on laps constantly. They both spend 99.9% of the day sleeping.

They have no street sense though whatsoever so they only go outside supervised although I can trust Winston a bit more to not wonder as he’s scared of cars and loud noises. Lola will wonder up to anyone and would happily wonder into the road I fear; Winston however is a bit more wary of the road and luckily will come back if I call his name.

However, Winston doesn’t seem to understand other cats body language as he'll happily wonder up to one of the neighbour hood bully cats despite them hissing and batting him. He doesn’t seem to understand that they don’t want to be friends.

Lola is also completely silent which I think is common with the breed. She puurs constantly but has not once meowed, Winston is a noisy little bugger…I think he must have some Siamese in him somewhere.

The other characteristic they seem to share is that they want to be with you all the time. They will follow me everywhere…when I go to the toilet the follow and sit next to me, when I have a bath or shower they sit next to it and watch, if I wonder into the kitchen they wait whilst I’m cooking. They just love human companionship!!!

Good luck, I don't think you can get better than a BSH
