When it comes to purchasing a cat, especially a pedigreed one like the silver shaded British Shorthair, the price is determined by multiple factors. These include the cat’s appearance, its health condition, and the level of care provided by the breeder. It is highly recommended to conduct on – site inspections and carefully select the cat in person.
I bought my silver shaded British Shorthair in Kunming for 3000 yuan, which is just for reference. I made the purchase through a pet store owner I knew. I placed an order three months in advance for this little cutie. I brought it home after it had received its second dose of the vaccine.
I got my cat during the epidemic. At that time, it was only two months old, incredibly tiny, and had an extremely gentle and soft – natured personality. Now, it is over nine months old. It has a typical “five – short” body structure with a big round face, a thick tail, and large paws, which are characteristic of the British Shorthair breed.
Before making the purchase, I did a great deal of research. I had heard that pedigreed cats were difficult to raise and rather delicate. However, after raising my silver shaded British Shorthair, my perception has been completely reversed. As it is almost reaching adulthood, it has never been sick even once. It has a great appetite and has become a chubby cat weighing nearly five kilograms at nine months old. In contrast, the original cat in my family, an orange tabby, has a very poor digestive system. It gets diarrhea when it eats GO! brand cat food and vomits everything within five minutes after eating salmon – flavored canned food. Its physical condition is also rather weak. It catches a cold during the season – changing periods and even needs to go to the hospital for nebulization treatment. Taking care of it has really given me a headache.
One of the most endearing things about my silver shaded British Shorthair is its extremely sweet personality. I can hold it and stroke it for half an hour, and it won’t even try to run away. It just lies there contentedly, enjoying the affection. It has brought so much joy and warmth to my life. Every day when I come home, it greets me with enthusiasm, rubbing against my legs and meowing softly. Its presence makes my home feel more like a cozy haven. I often find myself spending hours just watching it play, exploring its surroundings with curiosity. Whether it’s chasing a ball of yarn or taking a nap in a sunny corner, every moment with it is a precious memory. Raising this silver shaded British Shorthair has not only taught me about responsibility but also deepened my understanding of the unique bond that can form between humans and animals. I look forward to many more years of companionship with my lovely feline friend, watching it grow and thrive, and creating countless more beautiful memories together.
