Distinctive features of the British Shorthair are small rounded ears on a round face with large expressive eyes. This gives the cats a childlike appearance. They almost remind of a teddy bear. This is matched by the friendly nature of the animals, which form a close bond with their owner. Unlike other cats, the British are not loners. They love the company of other cats and also make friends with dogs. The book informs you about the breed's requirements. The book answers questions like: - Are British Shorthair cats suitable for apartment-only living? - How time-consuming is the coat care? - What food does the cat need? - What do I have to consider, so that my British Shorthair remains healthy?

Contents: - Breed characteristics - History of the breed - Character of the breed - Demands of the breed - Healthcare & nutrition - With illustrations Become a team with your British Shorthair cat and learn how to handle it with love!
