The British Shorthair is one of Britain's first pedigree cats - at least a hundred years old - and one of the most popular breeds in the UK.
These cats are said to link back to Britain's ancient street cats, whose ancestors arrived with the Romans between the first and fourth century, and these then bred with wild native cats. Later, they were bred with Persian cats to improve the coat thickness.
The breed standard was drawn up in 1871 and the development of a shorthair pedigree cat began. The breed has changed very little over the years and its popularity continues to grow.
