The British Shorthair cat breed is a pedigreed variety of the traditional British domestic cat. This is an ancient breed which probably originated from European domestic cats that were imported to Britain by the Romans in the first century AD. This cat has a goodnatured appearance and a calm temperament, making it a frequent media star. It is the inspiration for John Tenniel’s illustration of the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.
