  • Bred from working stock, so it is hardy and generally long-lived.

History of the breed

The ordinary cat of continental Europe, descended from Roman-era imports. It had no formal identity until Scandinavian breeders pressed for one, and in 1982 it was separated from the British Shorthair and given its own standard.
