Question 1

What colors do Golden Charm Cattery breed?

Accepted Answer

We breed British Shorthair and Longhair cats in golden and silver shaded coats including Black Golden Shaded (NY 11), Black Golden Shell (NY 12), Blue Golden Shaded (AY 11), Blue Golden Shell (AY 12), Chocolate Golden Shaded (BY 11), Lilac Golden Shaded (CY 11), and pointed varieties with blue eyes. All our golden cats have striking emerald-green eyes with black eye lines.

Question 2

How large do British Shorthair cats grow?

Accepted Answer

Adult male British Shorthairs usually weigh between 12 and 18 pounds, while females are slightly smaller. British Shorthairs grow slowly and continue filling out with muscle until about 4 years old, so they stay in their growing stage longer than most cat breeds.

Question 3

What are British Shorthair cats' personalities like?

Accepted Answer

British Shorthairs are affectionate without being clingy, gentle, easy-going, and well-suited for homes with children or other pets. They are playful in short bursts, enjoy interactive toys, and adapt easily to different home environments. They are independent enough for working owners but form strong, loyal bonds with their families.

Question 4

Do British Shorthair cats shed a lot?

Accepted Answer

British Shorthairs tend to shed more than British Longhairs despite having shorter fur, because their coats are denser and thicker. Longhair cats have longer but less dense fur. Regular daily brushing greatly reduces shedding around the home.
