American Shorthair Cat VS. Brazilian Shorthair Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


American Shorthair has the body of a working cat: stocky, muscular, and strong. His build gives him the agility and endurance he needs as a firstrate stalker, and his heavily muscled legs make him capable of pouncing, jumping, and climbing to get his furred or feathered prey. This is a mediumsize to large cat, slightly longer than he is tall.

A large head with a fullcheeked face gives the American Shorthair a sweet, open expression. He has mediumsized ears that are slightly rounded at the tips and large, wide eyes. A short, thick coat comes in a large assortment of colors and patterns: solid, tabby, calico, tortoiseshell, bicolor, particolor, and more. The silver classic tabby pattern is probably the most popular of them all.

Brazilian Shorthair's coat can be seen in a very wide range of colors that include black, brown, gray, orange, and white. The coat also comes in just about any type of pattern you can imagine!

When it comes to grooming, the Brazilian Shorthair is a very lowmaintenance kitty. You can brush their coat once a week, which will help lessen the chances of hairballs or mats forming. When it comes to climate, the Brazilian Shorthair is generally seen as an adaptable feline. Although, make sure to always provide adequate shade and sufficient freshwater during the hotter months.


The adaptable and goodnatured American Shorthair retains his hunting ability, but these days he is more likely to be a family companion, a job at which he excels. He has a middleoftheroad temperament, being calm but not comatose. The American Shorthair is moderately active and enjoys good playtime as much as the next cat, but he’s not overly demanding of attention or activity.

As befits a workingclass cat who has made good, he is smart and enjoys playing with puzzle toys and interactive toys. He has a sociable nature and isn’t the type to hide under the bed when visitors arrive. This is a placid cat but one that doesn’t especially like being carried around. Let him stand on his own four feet. He may or may not be a lap cat, but he will always appreciate having a spot next to you on the sofa or at the end of the bed.

As you'd expect from a breed with street cat roots, the Brazilian Shorthair is a cocky feline who's confident and outgoing. This extends to their relationship with humans and kids. This is a cat who enjoys being around people and will do its best to become a big part of your daytoday life. Always wanting to be the center of attention, the breed will happily attempt to persuade the kids to engage in play sessions as often as possible, but they're also content to snuggle up on the couch when it's time to rest and relax.

Brazilian Shorthair is an inherently curious and inquisitive cat, especially when it comes to exploring new environments. So make sure you have enough space to keep the cat on its toes. As a smarterthanaverage feline, the Brazilian Shorthair also benefits from smart interactive toys, and in some cases, owners have managed to teach the breed to perform tricks!


Both pedigreed cats and mixedbreed cats have varying incidences of health problems that may be genetic in nature. American Shorthairs and Brazilian Shorthairs are generally healthy, but be sure to ask a breeder about the incidence of health problems in her lines and what testing has been done for any that are genetic in nature.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be seen in American Shorthairs, it is a type of heart disease, has been seen in the breed, but it is not yet known to be genetic.

To date, there aren't any breedspecific health problems associated with the Brazilian Shorthair, but always keep an eye out for signs that your cat might be in distress or pain.
