A Rich Historical Legacy
The British Shorthair's roots trace back to the 1st century, when domestic cats first arrived in Britain with the Romans. Over centuries these cats evolved with significant development occurring in the 1880s. The Victorian era saw a burgeoning interest in cat shows, which spurred the formal development of the modern British Shorthair breed.
