Which cat is friendlier to humans, the American Shorthair or the British Shorthair? (1)

Which cat is friendlier to humans, the American Shorthair or the British Shorthair? (1)

I suddenly discovered that there is a basic numerical table in the illustrated book, which may provide an intuitive comparison for the answerer

. The American Shorthair is on the left and the British Shorthair is on the right.

p1 The six-dimensional graph shows that the two are roughly similar, except that the British Shorthair is slightly inferior to the American Shorthair in terms of trimming and care. Special mention is made of the long-haired cat breed of the British Shorthair. Yes, there really is a “British Longhair”. Its relationship with the British Shorthair is roughly the same as that of the Exotic Shorthair and the Persian.

p2 The table shows the degree of adaptability of cat breeds to the human population, from top to bottom: beginners, single people, building breeding, children,

and reading by heart. For reference only:

American Shorthair cats have a large appetite (um, like my family), while British Shorthair cats need to eat high-nutrition food (probably referring to the need for protein… I don’t understand this, so I’ll check the popular science on how to read the ingredients of cat food) and exercise more.

In addition, the book also mentioned that American shorthair cats have strong limbs (my cat is good at pressing other cats to the ground with their front paws, and the cat teaser is directly broken); British shorthair cats are strong in the trunk, “plus the round head, it even looks a little unbalanced, like a toothpick stuck on a potato. But it still has strong limbs, and the ability to run and hunt is excellent.”… I am so moved by it, calm down.

Off topic. I will diss the answer of a suspected WeChat marketing account under this question.

I hesitated for a long time when I first saw the answer. Generally speaking, everyone loves their pets, and beauty and ugliness are also subjective. I am afraid that it will discourage people’s love for pets. After looking at the photos, it is really a bit too much. The accompanying text does not have any practical content, and it has the flavor of a cat vendor on the roadside inciting passers-by. Fearing to mislead others, I commented: “The photo is simply a negative example of Exotic Shorthair promotion. It doesn’t mean that you are an expert just because you have many cats. Take care of the cat’s tear trough and fur first.”

After a few hours, I didn’t receive a reply. I felt

so guilty. Is it okay?

Then I looked at the link to his 13 cat stories under the answer. Sure enough, the photo was even more emmmm. The accompanying text also had nothing to do with the corresponding question, and even had the suspicion of promoting superstition.

1. Bloodline related.

“XX is of CFA bloodline, and the price is five figures.” Okay, since you said bloodline proof, let’s talk about this. It is a kind of materialization to set any standard for the baby at home, and I don’t want to say it… Even the lowest level of CFA pet grade, the starting price of Exotic Shorthair cats is about 10,000 yuan. So far, the original answerer’s description is reasonable. Pet-grade cats are also bred from the same breeding line as show-grade and breeding-grade cats. It’s like the quality of brand-name tail-end singles is generally closer to the genuine products in the counter rather than knockoffs. The photos are filled with disqualified cats (their appearance does not meet the pet-grade standards), and it seems that they are still being bred in the backyard (the offspring of pet-grade breeding are not recognized by CFA)… Of course, the answerer also mentioned CFA “bloodline”, and it is possible that he himself did not understand the word game here and was cheated by the clerk.
