15 Reasons Why You Should NEVER EVER Adopt a British shorthair Cat 

How could you have sited that BSH meows a lot as the first reason then that they are a quiet breed as the eighth reason? How ironic!

I still want one and I'm getting one

My BSH is now 5 years old. He's an ex Show Champion as a kitten. I could not disagree more with the majority of your " negatives". Yes , mine has had teeth issues, but more due to neglect, prior to my acquiring him. Ollie is by far the most affectionate cat I have ever been owned by.(lol). He loves kids,is playful, cuddly and a lapcat. The fact that he is 7kg doesn't stop him from being active,inquisitive and adventurous. I watched your video to the end,and was left wondering what sort of BSH you have really had experience with..

I hope mine stays with me for 20 years

what a load of tripe !!!!! I have owned one for years and never once been a problem.

I have one BSH at home, sometime I wonder if one is enough...😂 maybe another BSH with different colour would be fun. Yes he is a weighty muscular boy, really satisfying everytime I have to pick him up. Yes he meow, very softly only when he is asking some thing or when he is uncomfortable. Yes he is independent and confident boy, not a lap cat, but always seek out house member and be near them.

I love my BSH babies. I have two Goldens and they bring me so much joy every single day. ❤

I have had 4 BSHs. Two currently. All have been very quiet.They have all been large and loyal. They all shed. In other words, the traits you have elaborated upon tend to be common traits of CATS! You don't sound like a cat person to me.

HEY I HAVE A BRITSE SHORTHAIR YES I KNOW BUT IDC I LOVE HER WHIT MY ❤️ HEART.

As a BSH breeder, here are the facts. 1. They are very not vocal at all. There is always a posibility of a vocal cat, but its less common. 2. Having a long and healthy life is listed as a negative? This is how you know the video is biased. 3. They do shed, but Id say less than an avg cat. Their hairs are easy to clean/pick up unlike some other cats. 4. This one is correct. They are not hypoallergenic. Id recommend feeding a bsh qood quality food to reduce dander. 5. May not be best for kids. Sure. They wont scratch them or anything, it just might be too much energy for them. This also rly depends on the personality of the bsh. Some need more energy and activity. 6. They are a bigger breed. 7. They truely are intelligent, and this is not a con. They can get bored if you are boring. Wouldnt anyone? 8. They are generally quiet low activity cats. But personality plays a role here. They are very polite, non destructive, well mannered. Chill. 9. Prone to heat. Yes. 10. Dont like to travel. Yes. 11. Independent. Yes. This isnt a con though. They arent as needy. 12. Intolerant to changes. Yes. 13. Tend to socialize slower. Yes. 14. Weight is a matter of how you feed them and how much you play with them. If you overfeed them, and provide no play, they can gain weight.

I have a British shorthair cat

They are one of the most noblest and laid back creatures gods ever created❤😺

Click bait obviously you have never owned a short hair cat most of what you said is wrong 😂

I have two of them. We are a family and love each other a lot. Id never want any other cats in my life.

Anyone else notice that quite a few of the cats shown in this video aren't even BSH?....Mine doesn't really meow, but she "chirps" a lot...A lot of misinformation about BSH's in this video...Right about the price though lol..

Getting bsh kitten tomorrow 😻

What a load of twaddle. They are beautiful cats and one of the easiest to have in your home

They looks too cute anyway. The only thing i worry about is if he can get well with my netherland rabbit. I will book one.

My 2 British Shorthair cats are very different in personality love this breed

I have never heard my BSH meow in her whole life, maybe just a few times when she wanted my love, the rest of the day she just sleeps

I know mine meows a lot but i love him dearly

1) Neither common nor specific to BSH, and meowing is cute if not too loud and excessive. 2) Why is that a problem? Do owners want their cats to die as soon as possible? 3) Not true in comparison to most breeds. The word "shorthair" ought to be a clue. 4) Not specific to BSH. 5) Not specific to BSH. No breed enjoys being roughed up by screaming kids. 6) Not specific to BSH. 7) Err....yes. You just bear this in mind when purchasing cat equipment. 8) All indoor cats require mental stimulation. 9) This is a huge advantage that a BSH has over other breeds. 10) ? 11) Not specific to BSH. 12) Another huge advantage, if you don't want a cat to be constantly in your face or going into meltdown when you leave it alone. 13) Not specific to BSH. 14) Not specific to BSH. 15) At last. A valid concern!

What a clickbaity title. Why are the reasons mentioned in this video a bad thing?

I got 2 of them they are very very cute

Stella’s beautiful!

Not wasting my time listening to such lies. 👎👎👎

My BSH gentle and lovable. Love by all family members. The longest time of life 🐈 the better. 🎉🎉🎉

We had 2 British shorthairs (brothers) both parents where award winning cats.....we had them for 16 years for me the why you shouldnt have them is a load of ********** i would recommend them to anyone and with any pedigree do your research....we have now being adopted by a female black cat, non pedigree but love her to bits (except live mice which she drops in the house)

I love my British shorthair!

Got one😂 Nothing even close to this video. Cutest thing though very self-determined.

And he loves me

Please help i just got bit of my british short haired cat i dont know what i can do about this but can u help?

They do not meow too much I own one All cats shed

0:26 have you met my cat?

Pronouncing the words right is a must for this kind of video, just saying. Several times it says something along the lines of "Britith shor thair," and "problems in British shor thairs are hyper THEE roidism" was sad to hear at 3:27 lmao.

Most of the commenters do not appreciate satire.

Me and Michael

When someone has a baby, he or she will have to take care of the child until the child is 18.

MY BSH IS 2 MONTH OLD

The only truth in this video is that they shed a lot of hair, the rest is BS.

Okay maybe 5 of these are accurate and at least 2 of those are easily fixed by not free feeding. The rest are so far off it's laughable just read the CFA breed analysis. The only one not mentioned that I might agree with is your going to spend around $1000 to get one.

What a load of BS my boy passed away recently at 12 years and none of this is true

NEVER GET 😂 ONE OF THESE😂 😂

Crap

You should rethink the point of this video. None of these reasons are reasonable to the title of the video.

Tying up a cats legs during surgery? Cruel and unnecessary 😢

Short fair cats lol

Sorry, but this is the greatest bullshit-video ever seen about British short hair.

I dont care i have one

Totaly Bullshit! Our BSH is very lovely with our kids and they sleep every Night in one Room together.

Maybe the title should be “How to act like shit” or “How to loose likes and subscribers”

What an inaccurate and stupid video that contradicted itself all the way through. Get a BSH, best cats ever.

Rubbish video. I have had 3 and barely recognise what is said!

What a load of bullshit!

Load of complete rubbish, if you want a dog get one! I prefer cats.

what a bunch of stupid reasons …seriously

BSH are the best, I'm not watching this. Bye!!! 😒😒😒😒

This just in, reasons not to own a British Shorthair are reasons not to own a cat.

I disagree 100%
