My British Shorthair was the exception and loved to be held like a baby, cuddled and would sleep in your lap 💜 she passed age 13.

[@lizaprideaux]

Aw bless her! So special x

[@jthomas8263]

British Shorthair is one of the Oldest Cat Breeds.

[@loewe7]

@@lizaprideaux I love your videos I also want to buy a Brit short hair 14 weeks …. I have a question? … what kind of liter box do you have/use especially because of the smell and what kind of food you give him ? Dry or wet food or maybe both? … and the last question how manny times do you feed them a day 3 or 4 times ? For example 12:00 -15:00 - 18:00 -21:00 etcetera beside a snack occasionally thx if can help me with these questions 😊

[@TheOriginalBrownie]

Same! But it’s a he and he’s tp still a baby !

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Mine were both like that!

[@christa6043]

That's very good that you mentioned about the need for contact. I have two Maine coons and they need A LOT of contact which is so lovely but the guilt of leaving anywhere for longer than an hour is epic. 😭

[@sleepyholly5560]

I have owned a British Shorthair for 13 years (since 2009) and I can say that this is very accurate Thank you for being extremely honest throughout this video!

[@adellaoconnor1960]

Hi, don’t know if you’ll see this but we get our two BSH boys in 4 weeks, just wondered if you knew of any website or channels that gives good info on the breed thank you 😊

[@twopercentbattery]

@adellaoconnor1960 If they are coming from another home, the cats will feel extremely shy and would probably hide under beds or even stay in the pet carrier for the first few days. When everyone is asleep they do come out, eat their food and do their business as well. It really depends on the environment of your home but I’m sure they’ll attach themselves to you soon enough 👍

[@alisonmckenzie1415]

Love seeing Gigi and learning about her 👍🏻 xx😺.

[@therewillbestars8118]

Gigi is gorgeous! I'm getting a british shorthair kitten too next month, so exited. Thanks for your videos, very helpful and entertaining

[@lynnmorgans3538]

we've always had British blues, we have Claude and Izzy and you are so right about them not being lap cats but always by your side. just love them, as a treat I give ours tuna now and again. x

[@lizaprideaux]

Aww so nice! Which one did you get first, and how was it introducing one another?? X

Morning GiGi and Liza of course. Oh she just gets more beautiful every time I see her. Thanks for sharing Liza have a wonderful day xxx

[@lizaprideaux]

Aw thanks for watching x

[@gabriellemontet4325]

Gigi is so lovely! Thanks for sharing the information 🙂 I have a 9 months old male British shorthair and he’s similar to how you described Gigi’s personality, with a big difference: he’s actually not an independent cat! He’s demanding and I wasn’t expecting that, having researched the breed. He’s an amazing cat though and luckily for him we are at home most of the time so can play with him and pet him very often!

[@gabriellemontet4325]

In terms of food, he eats wet food three times a day and a spoonful of dry food at night. He gulps down his food so I wouldn’t be able to leave dry food out, he’d just eat it all 😂

[@hillarygroundwell2807]

Gigi is so gorgeous and such cuddly looking fur I bet you cant stop hugging her

[@lizaprideaux]

Ahh I can’t stop 😆

[@Jacgemini]

Omg GiGi is absolutely beautiful! I would love one with orange eyes.

[@DoubleLn2]

I have a silver British shorthair, he's a 1.5 years old male and a clone of yours except white, and your points of behaviour apply to my fluffball so well. I love my cat!

[@sunarac6650]

Thank you I enjoyed your video! Everything you said is so true. My bsh lilac color name Thor is turning one next month. They like to be independent and not bothered but sometimes will come and lay right next me. Love this breed. I’m considering getting another bsh.

[@susan5301]

Gigi is just so beautiful! Your such an excellent kitty cat Mum! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@lizaprideaux]

Thankyou so much Susan x

[@honkhogan21M]

Lilac or blue?

[@tillycalcutt5619]

This is such a helpful video! I’ve always loved the breed and I am at the stage where hopefully in the next year or so I will have one. Thank you for telling us about your Gigi and the pros and cons. I didn’t know that they were not particularly lap cats, which is so helpful to know. That doesn’t put me off - cats are all about consent! Thanks again

[@Giants_life69]

Thank you for this I got one last night!

[@namalengkap4781]

Aww so cute. Thank you for an amazing tips

im getting a british shorthair kitten tomorrow and yeah im really excited and im glad that i watched this video just to know some facts about this georgeous breed! :)

[@lizaprideaux]

Good luck!! So exciting

[@littlemisskittyuk1]

This was such a good video! I lost my Lola (blue) in April after 13 years and we have just picked out 2 kittens to join us in July - Bert (blue) & Delilah (lilac) and I'm trying to remember all of the kitten things I need for them so this was super helpful.

[@lizaprideaux]

Aw Thankyou sorry to hear about Lola, enjoy your new kittens 🥰🥰🥰 x x

[@junehassen882]

Love your video Gigi is a beautiful. We have a BS male 5 months named Luc he is exactly how you stated on your video. Thank you June❤️🥰

Round paws, round face. Gorgeous cat ❤

[@rebekah3483]

I love hearing about Gigi and her breed! Thank you for this!

[@mehmetalagoz1152]

We have a female British shorthair too and her name is Gigi too. She is only 8 months and very active always going out playing in our and neighbours gardens. We have been feeding her only with dry kitten food but we will feed her with raw meat after watching your video. Many thanks 👍

[@D_G187]

Thank you so much for this x

[@thaimuay5102]

big fluffy cat, ohhhh i luv it ❤

[@SJB25]

She's gorgeous! I just love seeing her! I have 4 male cats and there's no smell. I'll take cats over dogs any day. Also, another misconception about cats is that male cats spray/pee outside the litter box. A healthy, neutered male cat will NOT spray/pee outside the box. The ONLY time I've ever had an issue with this is when my oldest cat first developed Diabetes he would go outside the box every once in awhile. After taking him to the vet and getting his glucose levels in the normal range, I haven't had an issue.

[@lizaprideaux]

This is really good to know Sara, we may get a bit next time and I did wonder ❤️

Hi liza.this was so interesting.. gigi is beautiful 🐈‍⬛I'd love a British short hair.thankyou for sharing .xx👍💕🐈‍⬛

[@lizaprideaux]

Thankyou so much

[@lakhdherghada9713]

I bought a British short hair without knowing anything about the breed and I must say I got very lucky I got exactly the perfect cat for me not too active very Independent and adaptable. When I want to travel I can leave her at my friends house and I know she will be ok the first time I did that I got nicely surprised by how easily she adapted to her new environment I can’t afford another cat and apparently this breed doesn’t really like sharing their space with another cat so that’s also a good thing overall I really got my purrfect match 😻

[@johannagallagher5855]

She just beautiful x

[@lindasapiecha2515]

I like a little space myself so they are the perfect cat for me 🥰

I have a BSH too and he is moody. Some days he is all over us and some days he can't tolerate touch but he is always around, always watching, observing even talking to us, very chatty. He loves playing hide n seek, cuddles w us at night and sleeps on our arm or chest. He dislikes being picked up though and will meow or whine in resitance

[@yarawilde6026]

Love Gigi! I’m getting a male BSH kitten on Tuesday and can’t wait, but want a lilac girl just like Gigi in about a year and wondered where you got her. Can you share the name of your breeder? Thank you! xx

Hi Liza!! I loved hearing about british shorthairs and Gigi,she's sooooo amazing and chill. I want to get a cat but don't know if a BS will do. Do you think they are good for busy families?

[@Ohkeh640]

How do you keep hair off your clothing couch etc Does she scratch your couch or furniture? Also how do you clean around her eyes etc

[@melis2645]

I’m looking to buy my first kitten ever I’m only interested in getting this breed. I have a few questions. Have you ever walked your cat even if it’s just in the garden? I have seen some videos where they are put on a leash for a quick walk. And also how often do you wash her? Do they also not cuddle at all?

[@thaimuay5102]

mine loves raw meat from cows. i cut it in small pieces and arrange it in heart shape on a plate. She luvs it. I got her used to it from baby age.

[@brendaisaac781]

Liza, where did you get your silver Brittish Shorthair?

[@vampireBella112]

Where did you get Gigi? Living in London and looking to find a British Short haired but not sure where to find one

This is a very honest video . Keep up the good work. Btw I watched the video were u got jeje/gegege. Srry if I spelt jeje/gegege wrong. Keep up the good work. And hope u have a nice day everyone!

Hi, new to your channel. How is the shedding?

What's better to get for the first cat - male or female shorthair?

[@sureenwawa]

how many times you feed your kitten? is two times enough with 10 hours interval or three times small meal in a day?

my british shorthair is NOT low energy... She wants to play all the time lol

[@Noisycowonline]

I have two 1-year old Brits and they are definitely unique. Like a fashion model, look but don't touch hahaha. Ahh, over the last three weeks they've gotten more friendly daily. Got them from a friend at 10 months that couldn't keep them. ONE BIG benefit of a beautiful $1k cat is if your life changes and you cannot keep them there will be plenty of quality adopters. Hope never, but knowing you won't be taking one to a pound in the future is reassuring. These two are bonded sisters that LOVE each other, walk side by side, take turns eating at their dish. Wrestling matches are entertaining, they love playing with electronic toys, laser chase, or the fax machine.

[@d0llbert]

If you get a white British shorthair, a cat that is white with blue eyes is almost always deaf.

[@miamilan4812]

Did you have to cat proof your home?

[@tea-chip-cookies]

My brother bought a British short hair cat for his daughter, it was quite expensive as well. I told him to take the cat out for summer and he mentioned that they're most likely to get stolen? Does anyone know why?

only thing that smells or stinks is a dog!

Only if you don’t take care of them and wash them every couple of weeks.
