Expressive Cat Is Very Relatable

Cat:

Nana's blue eyes and beautiful white fur might make you want to rescue your own British Shorthair kitty. Although, there are some aspects concerning this breed’s character that you should be aware of before opting to adopt one. 

British Shorthairs will get along perfectly with your other pets, they're very intelligent and calm cats and they're not known for getting into too much trouble. However, this unique cat breed is known for having some health issues such as arthritis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and they can also develop cysts on their kidneys.

Besides, considering the amount of roaming British Shorthairs do on their own, they don't require too much additional exercise to remain healthy. However, it is important to regularly count your cat’s calories, taking into account how laid back they are.

Apart from that, they have a pretty simple diet and you can keep feeding them kitten food until they’re around a year old (in some cases even longer). It's also not recommended to keep switching their food around and it's better to stick to the same food since it might upset their stomach.

Once they're all grown up, you can start feeding them nutritious food a couple of times a day. Overfeeding them is also not recommended since it leads to obesity which reduces a cat’s quality of life greatly.
