English shorthair cat? British short-haired cat (blue) British short-haired cat

History:

The ancestor of the British short-haired cat can be said to be "brilliant in fighting." As early as more than 2,000 years ago during the Roman Empire, they followed Julius Caesar everywhere. In the war, they relied on their superior rat-catching ability to protect the Roman army's grain and grass from being stolen by rats, which fully ensured the stability of the quartermaster rear. Since then, these cats have gained a high position in people's hearts. At that time, they were brought to England, and with strong adaptability, they gradually evolved into British indigenous cats. It is not only recognized as a master mouse catcher, but also its handsome appearance is loved by more people.

By the end of19th century, British breeding experts had selected the most beautiful cat among these indigenous cats and started a long cultivation work. Finally, this breed called British short-haired cat was born. 187 1 year, the British shorthair cat participated in the Crystal Palace Expo in London, and the breed was named from then on.

190 1 year, the British cat club was established. At that time, the British short-haired cat was still a big and strong blue fur species, much like the French cart cat. Later, because their descendants became more and more alike, they could not even tell each other apart. So FIFE (Britain's largest cat-loving association) decided to combine these two breeds into one.

After World War II, more and more British short-haired cats have been recognized by cat clubs in various countries, entered thousands of households and become companions in people's lives.

After 1970, their bodies became smaller and smaller, their coat colors became richer and richer, and all styles began to change to elegance. By 1977, Fife changed the rules again, separating the two varieties and prohibiting further hybridization.

Personality characteristics:

Gentle baby

British short-haired cats are bold and curious, but they are docile and adaptable. It will not change because of the change of environment, nor will it lose its temper or make noise. It will only try to climb to a higher place, smile and stare down at your big round eyes, just like the cat named "Louis" mentioned in Alice in Wonderland, and will catch it silently with its lovely expression.

Cleanliness and hygiene:

Taking care of an English short-haired cat will make you feel amazing, because these little guys are born with beauty, and the short North anchor never knots. It is enough for you to comb it once a day. If it is in the hair removal period, the owner can comb it several times.

For English short-haired cats, cleaning is far more important than grooming, because their fur is thick and soft, and dust can be easily carried there. Although the cat often combs its fur with its barbed small tongue, it can't completely remove the dust at the bottom, so bathing it 1~2 times a month can help it clean up the dirt. When Mao Mao is clean, cats are naturally happy.

Here, it is still necessary to remind the owner to pay attention to the hairball. Cats also clean themselves with their tongues, but at the same time they eat a lot of Mao Mao. Therefore, giving them a little hair ball cream regularly can clean up the hair balls in the intestines in time and help them care for their stomachs.

Feeding skills:

Environment: The ancestors of British short-haired cats have left them a fine tradition of hard work, which makes them stronger than ordinary cats, and they can calmly cope with unfamiliar environments without fear.

Diet: All cats have one thing in common, that is, the digestive function of the stomach is weak, and British short-haired cats are no exception. This is mainly reflected in the sudden change of rations. If the host changes food too suddenly, it will lead to diarrhea, but don't worry too much. As long as you get used to the new cat food reasonably and slowly, and don't change it all at once, it won't be easy to have diarrhea? Yes

Exercise: English short-haired cats like to be close to their owners. If you only like them sleeping on their knees all the time, you need to pay attention, because cats will get fat if they don't exercise for a long time, and overweight cats will also have physical problems. The principle is very simple, just like us, if we don't exercise at ordinary times and gain weight, many diseases will come to us. Therefore, to have a well-behaved and healthy cat, you should play games with it for at least half an hour every day, which can not only increase your feelings with the cat, but also keep a well-proportioned figure together.

Nursing methods of British short-haired cats

Cat's paw is a tool for cats to catch mice, climb and defend themselves. If the owner keeps a cat to catch mice, of course, he can't trim his claws. If the owner keeps a cat as a companion animal, he should always trim his paws to avoid scratching people, clothes, furniture, floors, etc. Trim claws from an early age, about 0 months 1 time. The specific method is as follows:

Hold the British short-haired cat in your arms, grasp the cat's 1 foot with your left hand, and gently squeeze your thumb, forefinger and middle finger to make your claws stick out. Then hold the nail clipper in your right hand, carefully cut off the transparent part at the front end of the claw, and then polish the claw with a small file on the nail clipper. Don't cut too much when pruning, so as not to hurt the feet of English shorthair cats. Then cut and polish the other claws in turn [1].

Bathing the British short-haired cat can not only keep the cat clean and beautiful, but also remove some parasites on the body surface, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and play a role in disease prevention and fitness. The habit of bathing should be cultivated from an early age, and cats will be reluctant to start bathing when they are adults.

Before taking a bath, you should prepare bath utensils, such as bathtub, bath towel, detergent, comb (preferably one end is sparse and one end is dense), brush and so on.

When taking a bath, the water temperature should not be too low or too high, so as not to burn your hands. The detergent used should not be too irritating to avoid irritating the skin; British short-haired cats should comb their fur before bathing to prevent tangling; Take a bath quickly and finish it as soon as possible; You should dry your hair with a bath towel immediately after washing. When the temperature is low, it is best to cover it with a special towel or other warm-keeping products to prevent colds.

English short-haired cats have rough tongues and particularly barbed nipples, much like combs. English short-haired cats often comb their fur by licking their tongues. Comb the head, shoulders, back, neck and other parts that cannot be licked with claws. Even so, it is best to comb the cat 1 time every day. Because cats lose their hair all year round, especially in spring and autumn, when grooming themselves, they will swallow their hair into their stomachs, and over time they will form hairballs in their stomachs. If you can't spit it out through vomiting, you can't excrete it through the intestine in time, and you will stay in your stomach, which will form a hairball, affect your appetite and even endanger your life.

When combing your hair, you should comb it not only along the hair, but also against it. When British short-haired cats comb their hair, they can first wet it with water, and then rub it to make the fur stand up and make it easy to comb. If the coat of a British short-haired cat is tangled or stuck together, it can be combed slowly and carefully with a fingertip or a fine-toothed comb. If the felt has been rolled, you can cut it into thin strips along the growth direction of your hair with scissors and comb it with a comb. If the felt is serious, you can cut off the coat and let it grow back.

Healthy British short-haired cats have bright eyes. When British short-haired cats are sick or in poor health, they are often afraid of seeing the light and crying. In some breeds of cats, the nasolacrimal duct is easily blocked and shed tears. Cats shed too many tears, and chewing gum often sticks to the tip of their noses. Absorbent cotton can be soaked in 2% boric acid aqueous solution and gently scrubbed off.

Ear care for British short-haired cats is mainly to remove earwax.

The method is: disinfect the external auditory canal with 75% alcohol cotton ball, then soak the cotton swab in olive oil or edible vegetable oil to dry the earwax. After it softens, carefully remove the earwax with tweezers to avoid damaging the mucosa of the ear canal and preventing infection and suppuration. Once the cat's external auditory canal is infected and suppurated, it can be gently scrubbed with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide, repeatedly scrubbed until there is no pus on the extracted cotton swab, and then the hydrogen peroxide in the ear canal is sucked dry with absorbent cotton. After scrubbing several times, the infection can be cured. If the cat has too much earwax and shakes its head and scratches its ears, it should seek veterinary treatment in time.
