The British Shorthair is a good-natured and easygoing cat, making them an excellent member of your family. 
The British Shorthair is a sturdy healthy breed and suffers from no specific health problems. They are capable of living into their teens but an annual health check from about the age of eight is advisable.
​
This may include teeth cleaning and a blood test for liver and kidney function. 
One of the reasons that the British Shorthair became so popular in the last century was because it needed no grooming. The coat is short and dense and the cat can easily look after it itself.
