Page "British Shorthair" Paragraph 17

British Shorthairs are an easygoing breed of cat ; they tend to be safe around children as they will tolerate a fair amount of physical interaction and hiss or scratch very rarely.

They have a stable character and take well to being kept as indoor-only cats, making them ideal for apartment living.

They are not terribly demanding of attention, though they will let their owner know if they feel like playing.

They enjoy mouse type or stick style toys.

They are not hyperactive cats, preferring to sit close to their owners rather than on them.
