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

Pr. RMThe 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.
