Temperament
British Longhairs are gentle and independent. They enjoy affection but on their own terms and aren’t typically clingy. They tend to be quiet, easygoing, and very well-mannered — perfect for indoor living or homes that appreciate a more relaxed feline companion.
Grooming and Care
Their thick coat needs regular brushing — ideally 2–3 times a week — to prevent matting and shedding. British Longhairs are generally healthy and low-energy but benefit from some daily play and interaction.
History and Origin
The British Longhair is the long-haired variant of the British Shorthair, developed when Persians were introduced into breeding lines. Though less common than their short-haired cousins, they are gaining popularity due to their luxurious coats and affectionate nature.
Ideal for…
- Calm and quiet homes
- Families who enjoy laid-back pets
