I have been battling stage IV breast cancer for 7 years now. After my diagnosis, the only thing on my bucket list was getting a British Shorthair. I ended up with two--a blue and a tabby. They are one of the reasons I have lived so long with my diagnosis.

My aunt had breast cancer and owned a Russian Blue. Every time my aunt had chemo and became nauseous when she came home her cat ("Natasha") would follow her into the bathroom, sit on the sink and wait, and then jump into her lap to give her comfort. My aunt said that her cat instinctively knew when she was depressed/sad and would try and comfort her.

@GaryB-01 I hope you are on the mend. My husband had a brain tumor many years ago and is doing well. We recently adopted an orange kitten from the shelter and he loves to play with our blue named Baby.

We have a rescue, Sidney, who must be at least part British Shorthair. He is blue and looks very much like this cat, but he's bigger, 22 lbs. He has many of the characteristics, but no papers. He is extremely intelligent and lovable. If he were a person he'd be doing puzzles. We love him sooo much. We have another cat, a Calico, who keeps him active, otherwise he'd be a complete couch potato.

I am thinking of buying not only one but a dozen of British shorthair cats 🙂🙂🙂

I love their British shorthair faces 🥰!!! I love how when they look up, it looks like they are grinning 😂

So true, the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland is said to be based on a British Shorthair.

My British shorthair is very vocal. He doesn't like sitting on my lap but enjoys petting. He is very playful and energetic. At the beginning he was very picky with food, but now he has learned to eat or less he will have no food. He was kinda addicted to a cat food with sugar so I had to feed him another without sugar. He is very collected. He hasn't scratched me once and he doesn't like to use his claws on me.

As an owner of 9 British shorthairs over 20 years, I can attest they are a wonderful breed. It is true they usually don't like to be on your lap. However I have several who gradually warmed up to lying in my lap, some I have now still won't sit on me. Mochi obviously loves being close to you. Brits are cuddly and fun or they can be somewhat aloof. They will come to you when they want affection but may only want to lay by your side. One point, if you buy a purebred Brit, the breeder may suggest you do not let them wander outside. I would suggest this just to keep them safe, regardless of breed but that's due to having some outdoor TNR cats get hit by cars. Brits are wonderful companions and so handsome. Thanks for sharing Mochi on KZread 🙂

He’s so cute. I wanted a gray BSH, there’s something about gray cats I find appealing. Ended up getting a silver BSH and he is the love of my life ❤ They are really intelligent and I love how gentle they are. My kitten loves routine and he will be sitting at the door where I keep the wand toys behind to show me he’s waiting for playtime. If I’m falling behind on the next routine thing of the day he meows at me but is never overly loud or annoying about it. He likes his own space while sleeping (I think bc I made him sleep outside of my bedroom from ages 3 months to 5.5 months) so he’ll prefer to sleep on the chair in my room now. Recently I was having a nightmare in my sleep and he jumped from his chair to the bed to lay at my feet. I honestly wasn’t a cat person until I made a friend of a neighbour’s Siamese cat and having my own cat has far exceeded my expectations and broken previous misconceptions about cats that I had. That made me realize how empathetic cats are and it feels more special since they choose to give that affection not because they’ve been bred to like dogs.

If all you know is dogs, be aware, cats are a different species! And very differerent in needs and behaviour. If you respect that difference they will respond and grow in their relationship with you. (One thing to note dogs wag their tails when happy, cats when not happy, and rubbing their fur the wrong way will be very uncomfortable to them and make them unhappy). This is a lovely cat. He is a cat. I'm sure you will develop that special connection with him some day as you grow together.
