#4 At first glance, the long-haired variation differs from the British short-haired cousins only in a more catchy “outfit”.
Moreover, if you look closely, it becomes clear that this is the rare case when the first impression is not deceiving. Perhaps that is why TICA did not start compiling a separate standard for the breed, but simply slightly modified and corrected the existing version, intended for British Shorthairs.
#5 The long-haired British cat is the embodiment of delicacy and peacefulness itself.
Actually, for these character traits alone, the representatives of the breed can be recommended to owners who want to see a problem-free pet next to them, under whose whims they do not have to adapt. In their predilections, the Lowlanders are extremely moderate and do not cross the line beyond which misunderstandings and friction with the owner begin. For example, fluffy intellectuals adore human society, but in its absence they do not fall into depression, preferring to quietly philosophize on their favorite couch or chair. By the way, breeders, who have many years of experience in breeding the breed, claim that the character of their wards is more docile and good-natured than that of short-haired British cats.
#6 Cat cats also have bouts of mild melancholy, during which they are reluctant to contact the owner and his family members
During such periods, it is better not to pester the pet, giving him the opportunity to take a little break from communication - do not worry, this withdrawal into oneself will not last for a long time. Morning oratorios waiting for breakfast are not about Britons either. From time to time, English "gentlemen" are able to remind themselves of themselves with a quiet, slightly rolling "meow", but they certainly will not yell for the sake of attracting attention or in the confusion of feelings.
