Recently the British cat breed became very popular. It became widespread enough, and as in Russia, and around the world. This breed of short-haired cats in the 19th century in Great Britain was based. It came from pairing of the Persian breed with local cats. Appearance at the British kittens quite memorable though they can be confused with representatives of other breeds. However the characteristic features inherent only in the British, are available for them.
Instruction
1. As you already understood, the British cat breed belongs to short-haired group. Continuous colors, tabb and also a mackerel (admit the British breed spotty marble) and tortoise. In 1980 for the purpose of receiving marks of the British began to cross to Siamese cats.
2. At cats of the British breed the round massive head. Wide skull, and cheeks of rounded shape. Round eyes, big, wide postav. Ears of also wide postav, small and on the ends rounded off. The British usually reach the average and large sizes, a body at them dense, stocky. Have brawny and rather massive shoulders, a back and a wide thorax. A tail at kittens and adult cats of this breed thick and rounded off on a tip, tail length average. Wool short and dense, dense.
3. The British differ in surprisingly quiet character, restraint and steadiness. It is quite possible that for these qualities some of representatives of this breed are awarded service in library of the queen of Great Britain. These lucky have the uniform, collars with hand bells. They do not destroy mice ("thanks to" hand bells), and expel them.
4. There is one more characteristic of cats and kittens of the British breed. Sometimes for the British give out short-haired stright. These breeds in general are similar, however unfair owners of cats do not consider one feature of the British: the nose at them on the end is directly bent (will bend), as at a duck. Stright do not have this line neither, nor at Cartesian cats. Existence of pinch on a muzzle will tell you that before you there is a chartreuse. Representatives of all these breeds in principle can be given for the British, but the experienced koshkolyub without effort will manage to distinguish the British kitten from any other.
