British Shorthair

British Shorthairs are one of the oldest cat breeds, descended from cats brought to Britain by the Romans two thousand years ago. Known for their round face, copper eyes, and famously plush 'teddy bear' coat, they're calm, dignified cats that don't demand constant attention. British Shorthairs are excellent apartment cats and adapt well to families, though they prefer to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being carried.

Indoor or weight management cat food suits their naturally sedentary lifestyle. Joint support is important for their solid, muscular build. Their dense plush coat benefits from skin and coat nutrition with omega fatty acids. Royal Canin offers a British Shorthair-specific formula with adapted kibble to encourage chewing. Portion control is essential to prevent obesity.
