Welcome
About Wispwood
Welcome to Wispwood British Shorthair website. We are a
husband and wife team and have been breeding since the end of
2006. Our love of cats, and more specifically British Shorthairs has
led us to this point, we hope that we are able to successfully
breed show winning British Shorthairs of a wonderful temperament and
type that continue the lines of the breed.
About British Shorthairs
The
British Shorthair is a big soft lump of a cat. These are the
‘gentle giants’ of the cat world. They are loving
and affectionate. They are good with children and other animals. They
do not continuously demand human attention and are quieter than their
foreign counterparts. Nor do they have the curious nature that gets
many foreign breeds into trouble and if allowed out in the garden they
are unlikely to roam. However they are often more than happy to be
indoor cats. The British Shorthair is one of the largest
breeds of cat. It is chunky and substantial and the male is much larger
than the female. The face is round with full cheeks and the nose is
short and broad, having a teddy-bear look about them.
