Adopting a British Shorthair without watching this video first could be a huge mistake. Here are eleven reasons: a British Shorthair might not be the best cat for you. Number 1 You're looking to get one from a backyard breeder. First of all, I always recommend adopting. Instead of paying for a pedigreed cat, since there are millions of cats in need of a home. Plus it’s possible to find British Shorthairs lookalikes in shelters., If you're still determined to get a purebred British Shorthair, please avoid backyard breeders. Many unauthorized British Shorthair sellers keep their Cats in horrendous conditions and even allow sick cats to reproduce. Buying from them is a risk. That'S not worth taking Number 2. You want a super cuddly cat. I don't blame you if that’s what you’re after but if that's the case, the British Shorthair isn't for you. While these cats enjoy the company of their people they're, not typically super cuddly, preferring to show their affection by hanging out near you., Did I mention they hate? Being picked up and aren't into laps, If you do get a British Shorthair, please make sure you can respect their preferences – it’s just how they are. Number 3. You expect them to get along great with other pets. The British Shorthair prefers to be an only child and isn't usually interested in playing with other cats., While Brits can get along just fine with their littermates getting them to play with other kitties they meet as adults is harder.. Typically, a Brit will ignore the other feline companion.. Additionally, a super active cat might be too much for this breed. Number 4. You want a cat that is well-behaved at all times. These are laid-back, low-energy cats (, except for when they’re kittens ). However, you should know that every cat has the potential to become mischievous. If bored, While the British Shorthair isn't known for trying to open cupboards or drawers, they can still get into some trouble trying to snag your attention.. That brings us to the next reason. Number. 5. You'Re not willing to cat-proof your home. Unfortunately, cats don't always know what's good for them, and the well-mannered British Shorthair is no exception.. If you notice your Brit, taking an interest in electrical cables, securing the cables out of the cat’s reach is crucial.. You should also carefully store dangerous foods and get rid of any toxic plants like the Sago palm or Yucca palm. Number 6. You get them for their beauty alone or because your kids want them. British Shorthairs are gorgeous, which is why many people are drawn to them.. However, cats aren't toys and even the adaptable British Shorthair has to be brushed fed and entertained. Also you'll have to clean their litterbox regularly and be prepared for possible litterbox accidents.. Please don't get one for your small kid. If you dislike cats., That's a recipe for a cat that will end up abandoned and suffering. Number 7. You can't afford the potential vet bills Buying pedigreed British Shorthairs can be pricy, but that's nothing compared to the breed's lifetime costs. Food and vet bills can quickly add up, especially if your British Shorthair develops a serious disease.. This breed is prone to a few nasty health issues. So please keep that in mind as you’re budgeting.. Even if you adopt your cat from a shelter which I highly advise, you should still make sure you can afford to care for one in the long term. Number 8 You're not willing to give this video a `` Like'', to show your appreciation for this breed Seriously. What are you waiting for Number 9 You mind, hair Since Brits are shorthaired kitties their hair doesn’t, get tangled making them pretty easy to groom., Still they're no strangers to shedding. That’s easy to believe. When you look at how dense their coats are., The shedding is most prevalent during spring and autumn, but also occurs during the rest of the year. Plus the British Shorthair's undercoat - is so fine that it can get everywhere, including in your eyes. Number 10. You plan to let your cat wander outside, Regardless of breed. It is quite dangerous for cats to be outside, Plus a laid-back gorgeous cat, like the British Shorthair, could be snatched away in the blink of an eye., Not to mention the people out there who hate cats and might even try to hurt yours. If you want your cat to get fresh air and sunshine, I’ve got good news, You can build a perfectly safe catio like the one pictured here or you can cat-proof your yard.. It takes a bit of effort, but it's worth it Number 11 You're not committed Getting a pet is a huge responsibility, especially since cats like the British Shorthair, can live up to 20 years. You should only get one if you're committed to properly caring for your cat, including sterilizing the cat and regularly visiting the vet.. If you move, you should also be willing to bring your cat anywhere. You go regardless of the distance. There are already far too many abandoned cats suffering.

Comments
We are Liverpool: I have a British short hair cat and it's the most well behaved cat I've ever seen in my life. She loves visitors and sleeping with people.
Sleepy Holly: This isn't all true. (with my 13 years of experience) 1. You're saying that they don't like being picked up and that is not true, every day instead of my cat wasting her energy that took her 5 hours of sleep to gain, I pick her up and she gladly walks into my arms. 2. British Shorthairs like being in their families and sometimes feel lonely if they were bought alone. All other cat breeds are just the same as British Shorthairs if they did not grow up with them as they feel jealous since they're not getting all of the love from their owners. 3. My cat is rarely ever naughty, she never intentionally does the wrong thing. She only ever makes bad decisions when she genuinely needs to do something for herself as she does not understand how all of the other people would feel about it. 3. I don't live in an extremely busy place and she has never been hurt by animals because she went outside. She only ever goes outside when either there are birds or the sun is out so she can sunbathe. 4. It's not fair to just blindly say "You're not committed" as it takes effort to take care of any cat breed and not only British Shorthairs. I don't believe that all of this is fair to just talk about British Shorthairs badly and say things like "You're not committed" when it takes effort and responsibility to take care of any cat breed.
Cape Cat Lover: I have a lot of respect for you for putting this out to protect cats from unprepared homes. I'm not looking to get this kind of cat any time soon, but I still find this empowering.
hank Champion: My last cat was a British Shorthair and he was with me for 17.5 years. He was the best pet I ever had. The only thing keeping me from getting another is how much they cost! Other than that, I'd get another British shorthair in a heartbeat.
Rhyta: All good points for people to know if they want a British Shorthair. These cats are aloof compared to the average domestic shorthair but they can become very affectionate, but it takes time for them to come around to being cuddled. We had an older male that became a real love bug but it took years. We have two females who are still skittish about being petted but will come to us when they want affection, it just has to be on their timetable. They are big loveable teddy bears and have been wonderful pets. If you want lap cats, then this breed won't be for you.
Maho DZ: I'm not looking to get this kind of cat any time soon, but I still find this empowering
Besa Shemovski Thomas: My british shorthair is amazing...loves coming to me after I call her from any room. Never put british shorthairs in the dust, they just work out better for certain kinds of people.
Scott marquardt: Adopted a British shorthair 2 days again($15), he's 4 years old after a day he's great, only thing you have right is he doesn't like to get picked up and wants his litter box clean.
Jennifer H: It's so interesting to see the difference in cat culture between USA and UK, in terms of letting them outdoors or not. I only recently became aware that Americans keep their kitties indoors. It sure must save the birdies (a cat - not mine - left a headless pigeon in my back garden yesterday). I don't think that purposeful harming of cats is a problem in the UK, though. At least, definitely not in my cat-loving neighbourhood.
Julia Reynolds: Found my BS in the street and he is very indépendant and adorable ! ❤
sᴜɴɴʏ٭☻: I will get a British shorthair cat in 9 weeks or 8 weeks , And the person had me showed how he looks like . IT WAS TOO CUTE !
Vlatkov: I have a British shorthair and I'm planning to get one more
Mayra Idrovo: My baby is not very playful. He’s very calm and not too cuddling. I don’t blame him. He still a good company and it’s beautiful and fluffy
Annie Mac: I have a B.Shorthair, a rescue cat, and a dog...........they all three get on brilliantly and play well together. My B.Shorthair is the youngest and adores her housemates, she doesn't seem to have a favourite family member.
Daisy draws: I have a British shorthair cat and their beautiful great company and go get one they’re just kinda expensive and everything here is true but they are really calm
Apples: Not sure why so many dislikes. I agree with the points made
Ω Sam Lesser Ω: I'm getting one
Craziecat70: Ur right actually I miss my friends cat he was so sweet
the drip guy: I still love my cat
Tom shiba: my british shorthair is a little naughty princess and i love her haha
Travel Dreamer46: Rescue is the best breed. Animals require time, money and understanding. All cats should be kept indoors or protected when outside.
Truthseeker: The second you pick mine up. It stares into the emptiness, it is thinking, I'm making a run for it. Wait....wait...for him to losen his grip..... just a little bit....then Shawshank Redemption!
Mr. Tugra: I have a British Shorthair cat but we didnt buy it our friend had a cat and when it had kittens we asked if we could get it instead of them selling it to a Pet Store does that count as buying?
Philip Rosie: Fact check on a reliable site for info on British shorthair traits, not here
WolfyEX: *me that has a super cuddly and nice british shorthair that likes everyone* i guess im on the parallel universe of earth

Turtle Plays: Who care my Brit gives me HeadButs ‘BONK”
Science Not Stigma: Mine were very cuddly.
Kat: I feel like the one that says it can't open cupboards is so wrong my is a master at opening them and the one that says the hair is every they mean EVERYWHERE its in my food it's on the floor it's on the couch that he scratches and I kinda like how bad he is but I have a feeling my cat is like no other..
BeluSIKE: And i have british shorthair it is playful and they sleep with us
Christopher Martin: This video is all wrong. I rescued mine off the streets at just 9 weeks old. He was probably dumped earlier but that is how old he was when I found him. Dumped with his father because they were male. Animals dumped in this area of the city is a real epidemic. I have rescued, fostered and help find homes for over thirty. I kept him though he was my first adoptee in my home. Near death I nursed him to health. He is my healthiest, friendliest and most lovable cat. Best potty trained and most well behaved. He is also the most playful with humans and other cats.( in fact I call him the welcome wagon). I have taken care of all breeds of cats. Cats need respect and time. Although it also comes down to human treatment. If poor they will be poor. If great they will be and develop loving, respect, and undying loyalty to you. My sisters cat she adopted from us. After a human threw him from a moving car on or yard. He protected her from an intruder over her Husky( who is too loving) to protect her. So cats really can be humans best and most protective friend.
Valkris: I have 2 of them, one from a Breeder and the other one is an rescute.
Kailee: lmao I have one and he’s in my pfp his name’s Vienna
Wǒ Yào Chī Nǐ De Dòufu: Are Brits only sold in the UK?
Cheese Master: I have a british shorthair it is the best cat. I got a cat from some rando who lived around the block from me, from their house. Adorable loves cuddling always climbing on top of everyone, even my cat allergic dad likes her. I'll miss her when she dies in 7 years. Argentina McCree 2014-2029.
beast Gohan: Can u do a vid on tuxedo cats plllzzzz
Hassan Ahmed: I have a British short hair and she is very cute and very cuddle
@my life with kittens: Love u looot
HalcyonDaz3: Most of this video is slander against British shorthairs. My guy is not like that at all.
Soviet Gualag: I don't want to see this stupid video honestly. Any cat is almost the same. British short hair is extremely cute and the best cat to getl it's difficult in some countries like mine to get a british shorthair. We got 2 british shorthairs they will arrive tomorrow. I have a big sister she has 1 british shorthair she had her for almost 3 years and my sisters cat has allot of fun with her and cuddle with her allot. Plus if someone has allergies british short hair decreases there hair from falling. My sister and brother has allergies to cats but when my sister visits my second sister she didn't get any allergic reactions or felt so etching annoying them everything was good.
Amber Grant: im offended because my british shorthair died last year
Ds NutS SuS: Bro I already got a pure bred
Naarah Jane Morris: It's So sad that there are so many cats abandoned or Dumped and it's sad that this breed of cat has so, Many health issues.
