Standard British Shorthair Kittens for sale in Kettering, North Northamptonshire

6 Standard British Shorthair Kittens for sale in Kettering, North Northamptonshire

British Shorthair Cats are renowned for their easygoing temperament and robust physique. Hailing from the UK, these cats are recognized for their sturdy stature, making them ideal as playful yet gentle family pets. The breed flaunts thick, plush coats in various colors, the most iconic being the 'British Blue' - a dense blue-grey coat. However, 'colorpoint', 'tabby', and 'tortoiseshell' patterns are also common in shades of cream, black, and white. Despite their substantial size, they are famous for their docile, calm nature, making them suitable for apartments and homes with children or other pets. Famously independent, British Shorthairs require minimal grooming and enjoy a balance of interaction and solitude.

FAQs

Are British Shorthair cats good pets?

British Shorthair cats are regarded as excellent pets due to their friendly, calm, and easy-going temperament. They adapt well to family life, including homes with children and other pets, and are suitable for both houses and apartments, making them great companions for a range of lifestyles.

Do British Shorthair cats like to cuddle?

British Shorthairs typically enjoy being near their owners but are not usually very cuddly or fond of being held or carried. They prefer showing affection in a subtle way, often sitting beside you rather than being lap cats, as their dense fur can make close contact feel warm.

Why are British Shorthair cats expensive?

The expense of British Shorthair cats arises from their purebred status, high demand, and popularity, especially after an increase in pet ownership during the pandemic. Reputable breeders generally charge between £1,500 and £3,300 depending on the cat’s quality, coat pattern, and pedigree.

Do British Shorthair cats shed a lot?

British Shorthairs have a short, dense coat that sheds moderately year-round, with increased shedding during seasonal changes in spring and autumn. Regular brushing is recommended to manage loose hair, prevent matting, and reduce hair around the home.
