Blue British Shorthair Cats – Australia’s Favourite Colour

The blue British Shorthair is the colour most people picture when they think of this breed. With their plush silver-blue coat and deep copper eyes they are truly breathtaking. Blue is the most popular and most widely bred British Shorthair colour in Australia, which makes it easier to find than some of the rarer shades.

A good blue British Shorthair has a coat that is even in colour from root to tip with no silver tipping, tabby markings, or uneven patches. The fur is short, dense, and plush, giving them that soft teddy bear look that the breed is famous for.

In personality blue British Shorthairs are just like their other-coloured cousins. The same British Shorthair personality.  They are calm, affectionate, and independent enough to be easy to live with. They enjoy company but are not demanding, making them ideal companions for families, singles, and older owners.
