The British Shorthair is the pedigree version of the landrace of British domestic cat, with a distinctively stocky body, thick coat, and broad face. The most familiar colour variant is the "British Blue", with a solid grey-blue coat, copper-coloured eyes, and a medium-sized tail. The breed has also been bred in a wide range of other colours and patterns, including tabby and colourpoint.

If your British Shorthair gets lost
Calm and steady, he usually stays close and hides in neighbouring shelters. Search garages and gardens calmly rather than ranging wide.
