The British cat breed can be considered one of the most popular, as their spectacular appearance attracts people.

However, it is worth understanding that these animals require special care and treatment, so they are not suitable for everyone.

What are the disadvantages of the British?

Complex relationships with tenderness and affection

British cats are very reserved and sedate, so they may seem completely indifferent. These are not the kind of pets that will constantly enjoy attention and affection from the owner.

If you like "tame" cats, then this important factor is worth considering, experts say. However, this does not mean that cats do not love their owners: they are simply used to doing this from a distance.

Wool

Many people believe that British Shorthairs require virtually no grooming, especially if we are talking about the shorthair variety.

However, cats still shed. Due to the specifics of their "fur coat", a decent amount of hair can accumulate in the house. Therefore, you need to be prepared for regular cleaning and care of the pet's fur.

Eyes

Due to their physiological peculiarities, British cats have very sensitive eyes. Many people think that they are "emotional" animals that constantly cry.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat your pet's eyes on a regular basis, as more serious problems may develop.
