What's the difference between short and long-haired British cats?

British cats actually have two main types of hair:

• British Shorthair (British Short Fur)

• British Longhair (British Furry)

Both species are considered "brothers." The overall appearance is similar, but they are clearly different in shape, hair and personality.

🐾 The difference between short-haired British vs long-haired

1. External appearance

• Shorthair

• Short, dense, silky, soft fur

• Round face, bloated cheeks (especially males)

• Tons of puppets look like "teddy bears."

• Longhair

• Furry fluffy like a British Persian blend

• Also has the same bloated cheek round face structure, but looks softer

• The body is big but the hair is covered, so it looks fluffy.

2. Habits

• British Short Fur

• Be discreet, still, modest, but not too poor.

• Some play but not very naughty

• British Furry

• Calm down. Looks gentle like a Persian cat.

• Perverse and prefer to be with a person rather than a little short hair

• Don't like changing environment

👉 Brief summary

• Short hair = velvet fur teddy bear, discreet, neat, easy to take care of

• Furry = Fluffy teddy bear. Calm down. More shy, but need to take care of a lot of fur.
