If you look at her albums, she has a boy and girl ginger tabby and they are both domestic short hairs....not pedigrees.

O yes.

I think there is a great deal of genuine confusion out there about British Shorthair / Domestic Short Hair. It is not uncommon to see ads on places like preloved where the owner puts up a picture of, say, black and white moggies, asking a couple of hundred pounds for the kittens because they think they are pedigrees. My guess is that it is down to vets who don't explain what "DSH" means when they write it on the records, so the new owner thinks, great! I got a pedigree kitten without knowing! (after all, think how many people have come on here wanting to know what breed their obviously non-pedigree cats are!). And if such people then breed their cats and sell them on as unregistered pedigrees, people like poisongirl could be taken in very easily, even without anyone intending to actually mislead her.

It must be a bit of a nightmare for genuine BSH breeders.

How confusing I had no idea the two were so similar!

However, I did not buy my two believeng they were pedigree bsh, i was just told thats what they were.
I didn't go out looking for a cat to buy.. my two were free to good home.

I will certainly be sticking to keeping them as pets. Maisy goes for her op in 2 weeks and my friends cat (who IS a BSH) went in for his op today.
