A strong and powerful body, with slightly short and stocky legs, and plush-like fur, belongs to a soft and gracious, sometimes a little lazy, but still regal mannered British Short Hair cat. Their loyalty surprises and delights their owners. You’ll affectionately be greeted at the door. Like a tail, they will follow you around the house. It is possible to talk about these cats for hours, but it is better to pet their soft fur, listen to their soft purr and see that Cheshire cat smile. The British Short hair cat was the Cheshire cat in the famous Alice in Wonderland story.

One thing for sure, you are not going to be bored and lonely with these cats in the house. For centuries, people have had cats, but no one has ever trained a cat to follow orders. Usually a cat trains its owner. The only training that works is litter box training. Over the years, we have had many different cats as pets, but only British Short hair became our most loving breed. These cats are very elegant and beautiful. Their grace, fluidity, intellect, and loyalty have sold us to create our Alcmena cattery. We love this breed, and we love our cats.
