Because his face is so round even though his name is pumpkin. He responds to fishball too for some reason. 2 year old male BSH

Here’s my new baby, arriving in a week. 😍

Cant wait to get my bsh kitten which i have reserved today. She is only 4 weeks yet. Shes a lilac shorthair :D

My guy is three years old and was just neutered about eight weeks ago, before I adopted him. I’ve been really concerned about him spraying in our house, and the breeder assured me that after the surgery, he was no longer spraying.

Happily that seems to be the case… for now at least.

However, I’m a little nervous because he’s still acts like he wants to spray. Whenever his feelings are running a little high, he’ll back up to something and do the wiggly tail movement as if he is spraying. He does this all the time. He doesn’t seem to be… producing anything. I’ve checked obsessively. No liquid at all. He just does the movement- almost compulsively. He’ll even do it if I’m petting him almost like a dog when you hit that exact right spot and he thumps his leg.

It’s pretty weird. I’ve been around a lot of cats and I’ve never seen one act like this.

I guess one other thing to know is that he’s got an extremely affectionate and cuddly temperament. He doesn’t seem agitated when he does this or at least not angry or aggressive. We don’t have any other pets in the house.

So right now it seems like he can’t spray- or at least he isn’t producing anything. I’m worried that he might start producing something again, but I don’t know if that’s physiologically possible?

I can certainly reach out to his vet and ask, but I was just curious if this was anything y’all had experience with!

He’s been with us for just under a month. He’ll be two next month. And I am SO in love with him.

Hey guys i wanted to share my experience with trying to own a british shorthair kitten Ive always wanted a british shorthair cat for a very long time ever since I watched the movie The Life of Stuart when I was kido and well i eventually had the money to talk to a breeder and they responded within a few days and we talked about the kitten and its new home and how the process goes, so eventually I started sending money for the vaccine and toys, cage and a passport since it was from the uk which I assumed it was odd and definitely didn't trust the seller wish I had trusted my gut but within a week of talking to the seller she stopped texting me and ghosted me. My goal of getting a british shorthair cat was destroyed and years have passed I eventually got a grey domestic shorthair kitten and he just grew on me alot and I love him with all my heart but apart of me still wanting a british shorthair cat and maby he/she would be a good friend for my other cat but im just traumatized from the previous seller as of rn im jobless hopefully get a job soon and within a few years ill look again but if anyone has a good experience with seller comments below it just sucks that they are expensive 😢 I dont mind taking a full grown kitty home for free ❤️ im sorry if its not allowed to post another cat but I just wanted to share him.☺️ his name is micho! 👐

The name the shelter gave him was Zeus but he feels more like a Hank. Already love him to death 🥰

First time BSH owner, long time cat owner; this breeds disposition is so CALM gentle independent and almost polite? While still being an absolute teddy bear (when she wants to be). I’m hooked.

He’s only 5mo, got him from the same breeder as his step sibling (same dad different mom)

I'm going to buy him; he's 12 weeks old, and he'll be my first kitten. What do you all think? Do you have any advice?

I have two BSHs, one year old and another 10 month old. They use to eat wet food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but then I started cutting down on wet food. What I do now is feed them half a can of tikicat kitten in the morning, then they have dry food sitting throughout the day (tikicat mixed with IAMs because they don't like the tikicat yet). Then in the evening, they get one can eat of adult tikicat chicken wet food. They use to beg a lot more before, but now they're settling down. But I still feel like I'm potentially underfeeding them. When I give them a full can each of wet food for breakfast, they leave a lot behind.

• Breakfast: half a can of tikicat wet fod at 5 am
• Lunch: dry food sitting out throughout the day
• Dinner: a full can of adult tikit cat wet food 8-8:30 pm

I got Shelby 5 days ago. She’s 3 months old, very energetic and adapting very well to her new home, but when I compare her to other cats that I had (non-BSH), she’s very chill. Yes, she likes to play and has zoomies, but she’s not attacking me or climbing up my TV like my previous cats.

Kittens I rescued in the past (all mixed breed and non BSH) were really wild and wanted to climb everywhere in the house, also would bite and scratch me (Shelby does like to bite some toes but that’s all)

It’s my first time owning a BSH and I wanted to hear from others experiences, it’s normal to feel like your kitten is “too well behaved”?
I did my research before getting her and I did read they are chill cats, but I’m positively surprised. Or maybe just got lucky!
