The European Shorthair, also known as the European and Celtic/European Shorthair, is a pedigreed breed of domestic cat. The breed's name has also been erroneously used to describe the non-pedigreed landrace domestic cat of Europe, causing confusion as the pedigreed cats of this breed also should resemble the typical domestic cats of Europe.

If your European Shorthair gets lost
A frightened cat barely wanders: he lies low within 100-200 m, often silent even when called. Search cellars, garages, hedges and under cars calmly at dusk, then put his litter box outside.
