15 Reasons Why You Should NEVER EVER Adopt a British shorthair Cat

How could you have sited that BSH meows a lot as the first reason then that they are a quiet breed as the eighth reason? How ironic!

I still want one and I'm getting one

My BSH is now 5 years old. He's an ex Show Champion as a kitten. I could not disagree more with the majority of your " negatives". Yes , mine has had teeth issues, but more due to neglect, prior to my acquiring him. Ollie is by far the most affectionate cat I have ever been owned by.(lol). He loves kids,is playful, cuddly and a lapcat. The fact that he is 7kg doesn't stop him from being active,inquisitive and adventurous. I watched your video to the end,and was left wondering what sort of BSH you have really had experience with..

I hope mine stays with me for 20 years

what a load of tripe !!!!! I have owned one for years and never once been a problem.

I have one BSH at home, sometime I wonder if one is enough...😂 maybe another BSH with different colour would be fun. Yes he is a weighty muscular boy, really satisfying everytime I have to pick him up. Yes he meow, very softly only when he is asking some thing or when he is uncomfortable. Yes he is independent and confident boy, not a lap cat, but always seek out house member and be near them.

I love my BSH babies. I have two Goldens and they bring me so much joy every single day. ❤

I have had 4 BSHs. Two currently. All have been very quiet.They have all been large and loyal. They all shed. In other words, the traits you have elaborated upon tend to be common traits of CATS! You don't sound like a cat person to me.

As a BSH breeder, here are the facts. 1. They are very not vocal at all. There is always a posibility of a vocal cat, but its less common. 2. Having a long and healthy life is listed as a negative? This is how you know the video is biased. 3. They do shed, but Id say less than an avg cat. Their hairs are easy to clean/pick up unlike some other cats. 4. This one is correct. They are not hypoallergenic. Id recommend feeding a bsh qood quality food to reduce dander. 5. May not be best for kids. Sure. They wont scratch them or anything, it just might be too much energy for them. This also rly depends on the personality of the bsh. Some need more energy and activity. 6. They are a bigger breed. 7. They truely are intelligent, and this is not a con. They can get bored if you are boring. Wouldnt anyone? 8. They are generally quiet low activity cats. But personality plays a role here. They are very polite, non destructive, well mannered. Chill. 9. Prone to heat. Yes. 10. Dont like to travel. Yes. 11. Independent. Yes. This isnt a con though. They arent as needy. 12. Intolerant to changes. Yes. 13. Tend to socialize slower. Yes. 14. Weight is a matter of how you feed them and how much you play with them. If you overfeed them, and provide no play, they can gain weight.

Click bait obviously you have never owned a short hair cat most of what you said is wrong 😂

I have two of them. We are a family and love each other a lot. Id never want any other cats in my life.

I have a British shorthair cat

What a clickbaity title. Why are the reasons mentioned in this video a bad thing?

HEY I HAVE A BRITSE SHORTHAIR YES I KNOW BUT IDC I LOVE HER WHIT MY ❤️ HEART.

Anyone else notice that quite a few of the cats shown in this video aren't even BSH?....Mine doesn't really meow, but she "chirps" a lot...A lot of misinformation about BSH's in this video...Right about the price though lol..

They looks too cute anyway. The only thing i worry about is if he can get well with my netherland rabbit. I will book one.

1) Neither common nor specific to BSH, and meowing is cute if not too loud and excessive. 2) Why is that a problem? Do owners want their cats to die as soon as possible? 3) Not true in comparison to most breeds. The word "shorthair" ought to be a clue. 4) Not specific to BSH. 5) Not specific to BSH. No breed enjoys being roughed up by screaming kids. 6) Not specific to BSH. 7) Err....yes. You just bear this in mind when purchasing cat equipment. 8) All indoor cats require mental stimulation. 9) This is a huge advantage that a BSH has over other breeds. 10) ? 11) Not specific to BSH. 12) Another huge advantage, if you don't want a cat to be constantly in your face or going into meltdown when you leave it alone. 13) Not specific to BSH. 14) Not specific to BSH. 15) At last. A valid concern!

Getting bsh kitten tomorrow 😻

My 2 British Shorthair cats are very different in personality love this breed

I have never heard my BSH meow in her whole life, maybe just a few times when she wanted my love, the rest of the day she just sleeps
