In the middle, the little brother even snuggled up to my boyfriend’s pants. My boyfriend said, “Isn’t this fate?” But I chose Blu, who was chubby – faced and extremely curious at the beginning. During the three or four weeks of waiting to take him home, I kept worrying if I had made the right choice. I was afraid that he would be too naughty. Although what I found online and what the owner said was that British Shorthairs, especially male cats, are gentle and clingy, Blu’s behavior still made me suspicious. Also, he wasn’t very willing to be held or petted at first, so I was worried that he wouldn’t be affectionate.
During the time when we were waiting for him to grow up, the owner sent a video of the six little kittens. Each of them was given a frozen yellow chick. They were all so cute and chubby. Hehe, our Blu was the wildest one when playing. You could immediately tell the difference from his actions and expressions. And the owner said that now he could be petted at any time except when he was eating. So after waiting for so long, we finally brought him home. Of course, after he came home, I was sure that my initial feeling was right. His true nature had already shown signs when I first saw him… Well, that’s a story for later.
So, based on our experience of choosing Blu, here are some summaries. If possible, you must see the parents. Genes are very important. Healthy, big, and beautiful parents are unlikely to have kittens that are completely different. This is also one of the main reasons why Blu’s siblings were reserved so quickly. Even if the kittens are too young to tell about their fur and other features, you can still pet the parents to get a feel. You must see the kittens in person. After the kittens can run and jump, you can tell the difference in their personalities.
Also, if you have the opportunity to interact with them from a young age and observe their changes over multiple visits, you can see if they are growing up healthily. In addition, where you buy the cat is very important. If possible, it’s best to choose a cat from a caring private owner or a professional breeder. You can tell that the cats they raise are well – taken – care – of. Summing up the situations of Blu and his siblings, healthy kittens grow very fast. Also, it seems that healthy blue cats give a strong and sturdy impression from a young age. They don’t look very slender. In general, it is recommended to see the cat in person. In this way, you can not only tell its health condition but also its personality. You don’t want to bring a cat home only to find that its personality doesn’t match what you want.
I wish everyone can choose their beloved British Shorthair.
Extra Story:
Oh, Blu! You’ve gone under the sofa again… How many times have you done this tonight?
Damn it! You’ve bitten a hole in your dad’s new phone data cable that he’s only had for two days. Just wait till he comes back and punishes you.
Oh my! When you saw the fly, you climbed up the slanted pillar in the house, hit your head on the ceiling, and then came down upside – down. It was so smooth, I’m not kidding…
Ahem, when you’re playing with the frozen chicken, could you not throw it on my shoes? And after it thaws, could you eat it on the ceramic floor in the corridor instead of dragging it into the living room?
Hey, Blu, you bit my hand too hard…
