When it comes to grooming, British Shorthairs are relatively low maintenance due to their short coat. Regular brushing to remove loose fur and occasional nail trimming should suffice to keep your British Shorthair looking pristine. These cats are also known for their robust health, but like all breeds, they may be prone to certain conditions such as obesity.
Vet’s Tip: “British Shorthairs mature slowly—only hitting full size at 3–5 years—so weigh them regularly to avoid early obesity.”

Providing them with a balanced diet and regular exercise will help them stay healthy and happy. Consider investing in interactive toys or a cat tree to keep your British Shorthair mentally stimulated and physically active.
“While generally healthy, Brits can be prone to obesity and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy—so regular vet checks and play-puzzles are essential.”
