American Shorthair
The American Shorthair cat is a medium to large sized cats, with powerful
legs and strong paws. The American Shorthair's muzzle is squarish. Their
coat is short and the fur being thick, dense, and stiff to protect them from
cold, moisture, and superficial skin injuries. The American Shorthair's coat
thickens up in the winter and sheds in the spring but still remains lighter and
slimmer than its close cousin, the British Shorthair. American Shorthair cats
are very affectionate, long-living, and disinclined to behavioral problems; they
get along well with other family members, including dogs. The American Shorthair
cat is also an excellent hunter, but their sunny and gentle disposition make it
ideal for families with small children. Shorthair cats tend to get overweight
very easily. |
