Are you a cat lover looking for a loving, loyal cat to be a companion for you, your other pets, and even family members? Check out the American Shorthair. This is one of the most popular of cat breeds particularly because it’s one of the healthiest breeds with few genetically related health concerns. This cat came about around the 10th century where it was transported to the British Isles by the Romans. It was in the British Isles where it received it’s name of British Shorthair. Later on the cat accompanied the Pilgrims to the U.S. where it served as a mouse catcher on board ships and on newly established homesteads. Once it reached the U.S. it became known as simply the Domestic Shorthair and later became known as the American Shorthair. This breed is low maintenance, can entertain itself, loves being with families or quiet households of just one or two people. Talk to vet Webster, NY to learn more.
