What disadvantages of British cats do some owners keep silent about?

It is worth learning about them in advance.

Before getting a pet, it’s important to learn not only about the advantages of its breed but also the disadvantages. And what if you can’t tolerate them?

Not a cute fluffy ball.

Usually, British cats are associated by most people with gentle, fluffy, and very lazy creatures. That’s why many families choose them as their domestic pets. However, surprisingly, the impressions of the “sweetest” cat breed can be diametrically opposite for different people. It’s not just about the character of the pet but also the conditions in which it has to live.

The thing is, not every house or family is suitable for British cats. Many factors must align for love to happen.

But it can be different. In some aspects, these fluffballs can behave quite unfriendly.

What “surprises” can owners of British cats expect?

To prevent life with a new fluffy companion from turning into a series of trials, it is recommended to familiarize yourself in advance with the main drawbacks of this breed. While there is still time to reconsider the initial decision and choose a cat of a different breed.

So, British cats can:

• Dig up or eat all indoor plants. As noted by British cat owners, these cats have a special love for destroying the flowerpot on the windowsill. And the only way to prevent this war is to either give up on having plants or give up on having a cat.
• Scratch the owner strongly if they decide to cuddle or carry them at an inconvenient time. It seems that these cats prefer to peacefully lie down and observe the world. But woe to those who disturb this idyll.
• Jump around the house and on the owner’s bed every night. And as a not-so-cute addition to this, there will be not-so-pleasant grumbling from the pet.
• Not see humans in children. That is, cats can see babies, but they won’t tolerate their increased interest in themselves. At best, the British cat will try to minimize interaction with the little human. At worst, it will declare war.
• Deliberately use places other than the litter box for their toilet needs if the owner forgot to clean it immediately after the previous visit. Perhaps these cats are the most fastidious among other fluffballs. And the most principled.
