About British Shorthairs
The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), which registers pedigree cats in the UK, says "half of all kittens registered with the GCCF each year are British Shorthairs, making the British the most popular pedigree cat in the UK." It sums up the breed's temperament as "patient, tolerant and a bit lazy", and calls the British "calm and easygoing".
