Buy a Scottish or British kitten

• Cats

British Shorthair (British) are short-haired cats. As a rule, these are strong, kind, smart, tough cats. They come in medium to large sizes. According to legend, they are descendants of the Cheshire Cat.

The breed has been known to the world for 2 centuries. The cat's external resemblance to a teddy bear is due to its short and very dense fur with a fine hair structure. It has a thick undercoat, becoming a distinctive feature of the British breed.

More about the price

Representatives of the British Shorthair breed get along well with people of all ages, including small children (cats are not jealous). The average price in Russia for such a faithful friend ranges from 2,500-10,000 rubles . If we are talking about buying a kitten in a nursery or from titled parents, then the cost can reach 30,000 rubles .

In any class, kittens may cost more or less. Color plays an important role in this matter. Chocolate and lilac British Shorthair cats are very common, so they are relatively inexpensive. Breeding kittens of this color is not difficult. It’s a different matter if we are talking about a chinchilla with green eyes or blue-eyed color-point animals. Their price is significantly higher.

Remember that a good British Shorthair kitten cannot be cheap. You should take into account at a minimum the costs of mating, special food for a pregnant cat, food for kittens, diapers, toys, vaccinations, and documents.

2. The purest sparkling silver! The color of our chinchillas is snow-white cats with a light “black veil” (shading) without stripes and spots - ns-11, ns11 33 and also rare snow-white ns-12, ns 12 33. Our silver does not have a yellowish tint (rufism). In a small kitten, these spots are hardly noticeable, but already adult animals have many “rusty” stains. Rufism can be passed down through generations.

3. There are no exotics or Persians in the pedigree of our animals. This means that possible genetic diseases that occur only in representatives of these breeds and can manifest themselves in any generation are completely excluded.

4. Animals have a heavy type and short, thick, tightly packed hair. Huge, bottomless green, turquoise and bright cornflower blue eyes. All kittens have the color gene.

Many who purchased kittens from us now call and leave photographs of their now grown-up pets. Most of them received champion titles at International Exhibitions, so we can proudly say that the “SCARLET SWEET DREAM” nursery produces wonderful animals: large, with a powerful body, with a massive head, covered with short thick fur, amazing silver, lilac (pink) and blue colors.

British and Scottish Fold cats are unpretentious, easy to care for, and do not smell. They are self-sufficient, unobtrusive, well-mannered.

British and Scottish Fold cats have become an object of fashion, prestige and, as a result, business. I think that everyone has at least once seen purebred cats turned by their owners into a machine for producing offspring.

In our nursery, cats give birth to kittens twice a year. The kittens turn out strong and healthy. We love each such “baby” and teach it to be in order (tray and claw tray). Our kitten is a bundle of energy, love, a particle of warmth.

We really hope that these plush lumps will bring living warmth and love to your home. They will give you another chance to learn to love and open your heart.

In the photo gallery you will see the main producers of our cattery, as well as small kittens.

British cat - description of the breed

Cats have a wide chest, a rounded body and a roundish head with pronounced cheeks. Medium-sized ears set wide apart. At the same time, the Briton does not pretend to be a long animal: the length of its legs is short or medium. But the paws are really powerful.

A description of the British cat breed cannot be complete without an emphasis on the eyes, which are characterized by a bright color. This case when the eyes are like 2 saucers.

Due to the fact that this is a natural breed, cats rarely have health problems. They are very loyal, which is why they are often compared to dogs. This is the case when a pet becomes attached not to one person, but equally respects and loves all family members.

However, the British are self-sufficient, so they do not necessarily need to interact with people on a regular basis. Tails are often chosen by busy people, because the cat will not feel discomfort being alone all day.

The animal is undemanding and very smart. They are curious, so they easily join in the game or touch with funny actions. Although cats cannot be called hyperactive. Basically, they are dominated by a calm mood.

Unofficial breed

Everyone knows the Scots precisely because of their characteristic feature - forward-curved ears, slightly hanging down in the direction of their gaze. They add incredible charm and recognition to the pet, and also cause affection among the owners.

The first mentions of such pets were found in China, and in Scotland they became popular only in 1959 thanks to William Ross and his farmer neighbor. It was they who decided to give rise to a new breed, but further research showed that the lop-eared gene weakens the animal’s cartilage.

Crossing purebred Folds with each other caused serious musculoskeletal problems in the offspring, which became the basis for banning their breeding.

Therefore, breeders began to combine fold-eared cats with straight-eared cats, for which the British and Americans with short hair were excellent. This made it possible to almost completely eliminate the defect and obtain Scottish Folds with hanging ears and Scottish Straights with straight ones. Mating them together produces a varied but healthy litter, which breeders use to this day. This breed spread to Russia at the end of the last century.

Straight-eared British cat, not to be confused with fold ears

After breeding the Scottish Fold, experiments were carried out to cross the British with them, and as a result the British Fold was obtained. This is a conditional name, since they were bred not so long ago and were not registered by the International Felinological Association. Due to this origin, there can be no talk about the purity of the blood or pedigree of the pets.

In addition, they differ from purebred Scots in their stocky, powerful body, and from the British in the shape of their ears.

How long do British cats live?

Like other felines, British cats live for about 15 years. True, this indicator is influenced by many factors:

• Attentiveness and care of the owner
• Conditions of detention
• Nutrition
• Heredity
• Past illnesses
• Other reasons

Loving owners dote on their pet, and therefore pamper it with treats. Such “care” can provoke obesity. With such a diagnosis, a cat will not live that long - up to 10-12 years. A good owner who took proper care of his pet and followed all the veterinarian’s recommendations can have a cat that can live for 2 decades.

Those who want to see a familiar warm lump next to them longer should castrate or sterilize the animal, because this has a positive effect on its life expectancy. Since cats, just like people, are susceptible to cancer, this operation significantly reduces the risk of malignant tumors.

How much do British cats weigh?

Due to their body structure, British people look compact at any age. The final weight is gained by 2-3 years. It is interesting that purrs of a single color are usually larger than their relatives with a pattern on their fur coat. That is, a lilac cat will weigh more than a tortoiseshell cat.

Males weigh about 5-8 kg. Neutered – 10-12 kg. Females are traditionally smaller than males. Their weight is 3-4 kg, and if sterilized, the weight can reach 7 kg.

To determine normal weight, you need to palpate the cat's subcutaneous fat layer. Normally, it is practically unnoticeable, and the ribs are not clearly felt. The intercostal spaces should not be closed. When stroking, the spine should be clearly palpable and not lost under the fat layer. British with a natural pattern on the back

Today there are about 200 colors of British cats. Some have remained since the appearance of the species, and some appeared thanks to the work of breeders.

Most representatives of the breed have a solid color. Exceptions include tortoiseshell kittens. This is nothing more than a mix of colors, which gives the animal an unusual appearance.

Tortoiseshell color

The color spots make up a mosaic pattern. It comes in two types. Dark when the color of an intense shade (brown, chocolate, black) is combined with cream. Dark when a delicate color (lilac or blue) is in harmony with cream.

There are special requirements for the tortoiseshell color. Colors should be presented in equal proportions. Areas with a cream tint should be plain, without patterns. Ideally, cream spots appear on the cat’s face. It is noteworthy that tortoiseshell coloring is found exclusively in cats. It is extremely rare for cats to be tortoiseshells, but such animals cannot have offspring (they are sterile).

Brindle color

Keeping a tiger cub at home is the dream of many animal lovers. However, this is not realistic. Therefore, British brindle cats are perfect for the role of a tabby friend. Dark stripes are clearly drawn against the background of light fur, running from the center of the back in a vertical direction to the tummy. The “little tiger cubs” have a crescent-shaped pattern on their chest, and their paws and tail are decorated with dark rings.

British brindle cats have many famous tabby ancestors, including the tiger, manul and jungle cat.

Description of the breed, behavioral characteristics

A British Fold cat will look like a teddy bear with folded ears. That is, he takes over most of his features from his British relative - plump cheeks on a rounded head, a stocky body with short legs, stuffed soft fur. The color can be any, although gray-blue representatives are more common, and in large eyes a honey tint predominates.

He absorbed a lot from the folds, in particular, drooping ears, flexibility of the body and basic habits. So, each animal has its own habits and behavioral characteristics, individual, but something common will appear in them:

• The “column” position while sitting on your butt or standing on your hind legs with a straight back looks very amusing and funny. Few people know that it allows you to straighten the vertebrae and stretch your back, so it is rather a necessity.
• The absence of jealousy towards other animals, a friendly attitude towards everyone allows him to be kept in the same house even with dogs. It is thanks to his friendliness and playfulness that he becomes a favorite among children, and his obedient and gentle disposition will delight older people.
• A considerable appetite can lead to problems with the pet’s weight, which should not be allowed. In a cat over 3 years old, it can reach 8 kilograms, while female cats are usually smaller. To avoid pathologies, you should feed him 3-4 times a day, carefully dosing the food.

Such different, but monochromatic cats!

Someone is afraid of black cats and crosses to the other side of the street. And some are passionately in love with cats the color of the night, because it is difficult to resist the charm of the affectionate creature.

The coat of such cats is characterized by uniform coloring. In other words, the color of the pile is deep black to the very roots without a gradient of red or white.

Black color

Black British cats are considered the most difficult to breed, so it is very difficult to find an animal with a deep black color. But if we talk about the purity of the breed, then the presence of single whitish hairs is still unacceptable. Moreover, the tone of the undercoat should match the color of the outer coat.

These cats do not need jewelry, because large golden or copper eyes look like two bright stars in velvety space. It’s no wonder that such handsome men are endowed with mystical properties, considered to be guards against evil spirits.

Chocolate cats seem to be the warmest compared to cats of other colors. Their color is deep and rich. The breed standard assumes a wide variation in coat shade: from milk chocolate to bitter.

It seems that the cat was really created by cocoa. But when getting such a kitten, you will have to wait 12-16 months until its color develops. During the period of color formation, brown overcoloring may occur at times, which eventually fades.

The chocolate cat's eye color is copper or dark orange. A dark eye shade is more preferable, because it makes the cat’s appearance more impressive.

Chocolate color

The British cat breed boasts that there are cats of a rare lilac shade. The delicate color also affects the baby’s character, because these are very calm and affectionate kittens, aggression is not typical for them.

Lilac color

The lilac British cat is a carrier of a complex color scheme, because blue and pink shades are closely intertwined, forming an absolutely magical color. Each lilac cat is unique due to variations in the appearance of its coat. It can be very light, almost lilac, medium purple, or it can be dark, like the color of coffee with cream. The beauty of such British cats cannot be described in words or conveyed in a photograph; they need to be seen with your own eyes.

Blue color

British blue cats are considered a classic of the breed, its most famous incarnation. It is acceptable that one cat will be lighter and the other darker (medium gray).

Chinchilla color

The chinchilla cat exists, and its appearance is amazing, as if this animal is a fairy-tale character. The color of British chinchillas is truly unusual, because you rarely see silver animals. The white coat has blackened tips of the pile, and a light dark veil subtly decorates the pet’s head, back, sides, paws and tail.

Surprisingly, nature itself applied makeup to the fluffy face: the eyes, nose and mouth have a subtle dark outline, reminiscent of how women tint their eyes with a pencil.

If British cats amaze with golden-copper eyes, like two moons, then chinchillas have eyes of a deep emerald color, beautifully contrasting with their light fur.

Do British Fold cats exist?

It is widely believed that the British Fold cat exists. However, this is not quite true. Scottish cats, close relatives of the British, are fold-eared. Kittens, the fruit of love between a Scotsman and a British mother (or vice versa), can indeed be born with oddball ears. But they no longer pretend to be purebred.

However, these animals continue to be in demand due to their quirky and cute appearance. On top of that, they are smart, curious, graceful and active.

Perhaps kittens with curled ears inherit the best traits of their parents. Cats are calm, attached to people and not prone to mischief.

The cross does not negatively affect the health or mental state of the animal. Unpretentiousness manifests itself even in childhood, because kittens from the first weeks of life learn to cope without outside help. However, fold-eared cats will not refuse communication and affection.

The owners of this miracle will have to pay increased attention to the ear area. Inspection for plaque and rashes should be carried out once every 14 days. But isn't caring for a pet a pleasure?

Combing

Cats that take their pedigree from England need to be brushed once a week in the direction of hair growth and against it. This will require special tools: a metal comb or a massage brush. Fortunately, the British enjoy combing and patiently endure the combing procedure.

Shedding in cats is usually seasonal - in spring and autumn. If the pet lives in apartment conditions, where the temperature is mostly stable in winter and summer, then shedding may go unnoticed. There is a disclaimer here regarding pet care. If he does not receive enough vitamins, eats monotonous food, and moves little, then there is a risk that molting will become a real problem for the owner. In addition, this may indicate health problems.

A cat who has recently given birth to kittens may have shedding hair. The stress factor also affects the condition of the long-eared fur coat, because it is directly related to health.

Shedding

Housing conditions, in particular feeding and temperature conditions, affect the duration of molting. On average it lasts 3-5 weeks. During this period, you can remove excess fur with wet hands or a rubberized mitten, sold in every pet store.

Maintenance and care

The British Fold does not require special attention, since he gets used to looking after himself from an early age, repeating the movements of his mother. But still its content implies:

• regular feeding with either dry food or natural products, and always a full drinking bowl;
• cleansing the ears of wax, dirt and other accumulations, at least once every 2 weeks, using a special liquid and cotton swabs;
• combing the undercoat with special brushes at least once a week, and for a long-haired pet - at least three times, possibly against the grain;
• daily removal of dark discharge from the corners of the eyes with a napkin soaked in boiled water;
• cutting the claws every 3 weeks by 2-3 millimeters with a nail clipper and scratching post, examining them against the light to avoid getting on the vessel (only for cats that do not go outside);
• examination of the ears for rashes and eyes for purulent discharge, in which case you should visit a veterinarian;
• bathing no more than once every six months if there is an urgent need for warm water, the temperature of which does not exceed +40 degrees.

In addition, from an early age it is important to allocate personal space for the kitten, arrange a toilet and a place to sleep, and install a claw sharpener. Then he will quickly get used to the new housing and owners.

Proper care includes a balanced diet, 2-3 times a day in small portions.

A mixed diet is not recommended for this breed, that is, you should give the cat either ready-made food or natural products:

• lean meats - raw beef or turkey, boiled chicken, boneless and skinless fish;
• milk, fermented milk products and cottage cheese, less often you can pamper your pet with cream or sour cream, but not more than 2 times a month;
• oats, millet, rice can be cooked in broth with the addition of meat;
• cabbage, cucumbers, carrots and zucchini will fill the body with vitamins.

Reviews of British cats

Kristino4ka

There is a universal favorite in our family - a blue British shorthair cat - Vikusya. We bought her at a Moscow nursery. We followed her by train. She has an excellent pedigree and excellent breed characteristics. She is only two years old.

The first advantage that pleasantly surprised me was extreme cleanliness. She always goes to the toilet in a specially designated place. There are no problems with this at all!

Vikusya is very smart and loves to talk to us. When you tell her something, she looks into your eyes and responds with intermittent meows. From the outside it looks very funny!

The cat is calm, affectionate, and loves to sleep. Therefore, it is ideal for those people who are at work from morning to evening. The cat will not be bored; it will definitely keep itself busy with something. In the summer he likes to sleep on his back, with his legs spread wide in different directions.

If Vikusya wants to eat, she will never scream and ask for a tasty morsel. He sits next to him and watches. Unpretentious in food. He eats dry food, about which I previously wrote a detailed review. Loves beef, veal and shrimp.

Loves to play with a toy mouse and skeins of yarn.

Sometimes it accelerates and jumps on the wall, pushing off from it with its hind legs. In some ways it reminds me of The Matrix.
