FAQs

Are British Longhair cats good pets?

Yes, British Longhair cats make excellent pets due to their gentle, friendly, and intelligent nature. They enjoy human companionship and tend to prefer sitting beside their owners rather than being carried frequently. They adapt well as family pets, getting along with children, other cats, and even dogs when properly introduced and socialised.

Are British Longhair cats rare?

British Longhair cats are considered rarer than British Shorthairs because the gene for their long coat is recessive, making them harder to breed. This rarity contributes to their higher value in the market compared to their shorthaired counterparts.

How much do British Longhair cats cost?

The cost of British Longhair cats varies depending on factors such as breeder reputation, lineage, and coat colour. In the UK, kittens typically cost between £300 and £800, while prices can rise significantly for rare colours or breeding rights.
