HISTORY OF
BRITISH SHORTHAIR KITTEN
The British Shorthair cat breed is said to have arrived in Great Britain through the Romans. When they invaded the British Isles in 43 C.E., they brought their cats to the new territory. It has been said that such felines were Egyptian domestic cats.
The British Shorthair cat emerged from interbreeding with the local wildcats.
Despite being an old cat breed, this feline was only recognised as a distinct breed in 1870. Selective breeding of the best specimens also began during the 1800s, with the blue-grey type being the desired variant.
This feline was featured in the first-ever cat show in 1871 London, making her popular amongst cat fanciers.
With the British Shorthair’s status as a pedigree cat, her popularity steadily increased. In fact, the characters of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland and Puss in Boots in Shrek were said to be based on this cat breed.
At the turn of the 20th century, interest in the long-haired British Shorthair cats declined in favour of the short-haired ones. When breeders ceased developing these cats during World War II, they nearly died out.
Thankfully, several cat fanciers were able to preserve what's left of the breed. They initiated British Shorthair breeding programmes, wherein they cross-bred these cats with Persians, Burmese, and Russian Blues.
This saved the British Shorthair cat breed from extinction. She later regained her popularity, ranking at the top of the list of most registered cats in the UK.
The International Cat Association acknowledged the British Shorthair as a breed in 1979. The Cat Fanciers Association followed suit in 1980. She is also recognised by the American Cat Fanciers Association.
