Now more and more people like to raise cats, among which British cats are very popular. So do you know the complete list of British cat breeds? Let me take you to learn about it today.
British cat breed refers to 12 breeds of cats bred in the UK, namely Mann, British shorthair, British longhair, Scottish folding cat, Devin imperial cat, Cornish imperial cat, Havana brown cat, Pomira cat, Himalayan cat, Asian cat, and Asian semi-longhair cat.
You who like meow, do you know which cats originated from or were first bred in the UK? Let me introduce it to you below.
The British cat without tail: Manx cat
English: Manx
Origin: Isle of Man, England
Origin: Natural/mutant
Hair: Short/Length
Colors and patterns: There are all kinds of colors, and they all have spots~
The Manx cat is native to the Isle of Man, England, and is also called a tailless cat, because a truly purebred Manx cat has no tail at all! Where other cats have long tails, the Man Island cat has only a dent.
Legend, the Man Island Cat was too slow when he was on Noah's Ark (maybe because of his short legs), and his tail was caught by the ark's door. From then on, he had no tail hahahahahaha!
Hahahaha, the tailless cat! However, ordinary, less purebred Mandarin cats also have small tails and snubbed tails.
Since the Mann cat's tailless gene and lethal gene arrangement are very close, it is generally not recommended for the British cats to mating with Mann cats.
The long-haired Mann Cat is also called the Welsh Cat (Cymic Cat or Manx Longhair), and is a mutant breed of Mann Cat.
Mann Cats have a strong physique, shorter spine and longer life than other breeds of cats. It is said that they have a high IQ, have a dog-like personality (Puchi), and are more friendly to dogs. They are suitable for people who like dogs~
The most prone to fatter British cats: British Shorthair
English: British Shorthair
Origin: Britain
Origin: Natural
Hair: Short
Color and Pattern: All
English Shorthair is currently the largest breed registered in the UK. It is very popular among the British and can be called a national treasure cat!
It is said that the ancestors of the British shorts came from Rome two thousand years ago. Modern English shorts are generally round heads, small but thick, thick limbs, dense and thick hair, and various fur colors, which can withstand severe cold. His personality is much more docile than other cats!
The British with proper care can have a short lifespan of up to 20 years, and it is simply a fighter in the Meow Star World!
However, English shortness is also a very easy breed to gain weight! Because there are also special cat foods for British shortage on the market, it is not so easy to gain weight compared to ordinary cat foods.
But cats are good. Even if they are fat, they will be a little cute, cute!
The good home-friendly British cat: British longhair
English: British Longhair
Origin: UK
Hair: Long
If you want to raise a quiet indoor cat in the UK, then the British longhair cat is very suitable for you. Compared with other breeds of British cats, British long-haired cats are very bad! live! splash!
As a home-cup cat, British long-haired cats are also very prone to gain weight... They become fat as a ball and have long hair, which really looks like a mop!
However, compared with other cats, British long-haired cats have more likely to have problems with their kidneys, so they should pay special attention to their diet.
In addition, long beautiful hair also needs to be combed regularly by the shoveler, otherwise it will be knotted, which will be more like a mop.
Sick British cat: Scottish Fold
English: Scottish Fold
Origin: Scotish Region
Origin: Natural (genetic defects)
Hair: Short/Length
Color and Pattern: All
Cute Scottish Fold
The cute Scottish Fold
The ears will twist forward and point forward because of cartilage.
The kitten Susie, born in Scotland in 1961, is the world's first fold-ear cat. All other fold-ear cats are her offspring~ The fold-ear gene (F) is the dominant gene. As long as one of the cat's father or mother is the fold-ear, the born kitten may also be a fold-ear.
Unfortunately, the folding ear gene can cause cats to have deformed limbs, tail and joints.
The ears of the folded cat are susceptible to infection, mites and deafness, and their limbs are prone to illness and mobility difficulties. And there is no way to cure this hereditary skeletal disease at present.
The fold-eared cat looks ecstatic and cute, but in fact, they actually sit like this because of the stiffness and pain of flexion.
The British cathouses and animal protection organizations call on everyone not to buy fold-ear cats to raise; if you have fold-ear cats at home, please sterilize them as soon as possible and do not let them reproduce pathological offspring.
Everyone works together, as long as one generation comes, the gene that makes Meow Meow suffer.
Big Ears British Cat: Emperor Cat
English: Rex
Native: Devon and Cornwall, England
Origin: Mutation
Hair: Curly Hair
Color and Pattern: All
There are two "native" imperial cats in the UK. One is the Devon Emperor Cat
The other is the Cornish Emperor Cat
The imperial cat has a short figure, but has large elf-like ears. It really looks like a house elf in the Harry Potter series!
The emperor cat only has curly coated hair on the bottom. It is said that it feels like soft skin to touch, which is completely different from touching other cats!
Because there are only hairy, many cats who have allergic reactions to other breeds of cats or have asthma will choose to raise imperial cats that are not prone to hair loss.
Lucky British cat: Havana Brown
English: Harvana Brown
Origin: UK
Hair: Short
Color and Pattern: Brown
Havana Brown
A new breed of cats bred in the UK, with a slender body and a Siamese cat. Because the cat's hair, beard and nose are all brown in Havana brand cigar color, it was named Havana Brown Cat.
The European continent has a legend that full-body brown cats can protect their owners from bad luck, because the Havana brown cat is also called the lucky cat.
"illegitimate child" British cat: Pomira cat
English: Burmilla
Origin: United Kingdom
Origin: hybrid (a mixed breed of Persian cat and Burmese cat)
Hair: Short/Length
Pomira cat is a new breed of domestic cat bred in the UK in the 1980s. It is the offspring of the hybridization of Persian cats and Burmese cats.
There is also a "bad" story about the origin of the Pomila cat. According to legend, on the eve of the opening of a happy life with another Jinjira Persian Cat Princess, the princess mistakenly entered the forbidden area and met a handsome Burmese Prince and stole the forbidden fruit, giving birth to a pomira cat.
Broad-faced British cat: Himalayan cat
English: Himalayan
Origin: United Kingdom
Origin: Hybrid (Mixed Siamese cats and Persian cats)
Hair: Long
Color and pattern: With accent color
Himalayan cats are also the first new breed domestic cat to be bred in the UK. The inherent accent color and deep eyes make it look wise.
was named Himalayan cat because it looks very much like Himalayan rabbit. But except for their stinky face, they don't look like it at all.
Oriental style British cat: Asian cat
English: Asian
Origin: UK
Hair: Short
Color and Pattern: Monochrome
Although the name of Asian cat is very "Asian", it is actually a domestic cat breed bred in the UK. To be more precise, these cats are not a breed but a "group", so they are called the Asian Group, which is divided into four species, namely the Asian Gradient Cat, the Asian Smoky Cat, the Asian Monochrome Cat and the Asian Tabby Cat.
Asian Gradient Cat
is a marriage between Burmese Prince of Cat and Princess Jinjira. The original name Burmilla is composed of the combination of the Burmese cat Burmese and Chinchilla.
It has green eyes with black eyeliner tattoos and a brick-red nose, which makes them look like they just came out of the plastic surgery yard.
Asian Smoky Cat
The cats are darker in color than gradient cats, which means more colored parts on the hair. They look absolutely distinct from gradient cats.
When they don't move, they look like a monochrome cat, but when they move, there will be a flashing glimmer.
Asian monochrome cat
Does anyone know about the Bombay cat in the United States? The British also like this kind of cat, so they also breed "Mumbai cats".
However, although the cats on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are the same breeds and are more or less different, the British "Mumbai Cat" eventually became a new breed - the Asian monochrome cat.
Then many monochrome cats (including tortoiseshell cats) appeared again, eventually becoming a large Asian monochrome cat family. It should be mentioned that the black cat among Asian monochromatic cats is still called "Mumbai color".
Asian tabby cat
Asian tabby cats are bred from the second generation of Asian cats.
They have considerable potential because they can cultivate all four tabby stripes, namely classical, mackerel, spots and intercolors (snails) and match with a variety of different colors, and may even combine into various tortoiseshell spot changes.
Asian cats are more suitable for domestic cats than for free stocking.
This is a variant of Asian cats after hybridization. Asian semi-haired Asian cats are also a very long-lived cat. This breed does not carry serious pathogenic genes and belongs to the type of good, childish and raising.
Above 12 British cats: Man Cat, Welsh Cat, British Shorthair, British Longhair, Pomira Cat, Devon Emperor Cat, Cornish Emperor Cat, Himalayan Cat, Havana Brown Cat, Asian Cat, Asian Half-Haired Cat, Scottish Folding Cat, which one hits your cuteness the most?
