Go to your local pet shelter…. there is a cat waiting be taken of death row
Cute
Im getting a shorthair next week! 🙂
I prefer feral kittens. They're everywhere and once they settle in they become great cats. Just picked up a pair of 8 week old male orange tabby cats. Still need their shots and neutered. Next month.
Yes, adopt a stray. It takes some time and effort to persuade one to trust you, and going from stray to chipped, examined, spayed, and vaxxed costs MORE than $2000, But shorthairs are wonderful companions. Of course, adopting an adult shelter cat is by far the cheapest, and they are also bright, playful, and affectionate. And if you want to do something good for the world, support a TNR program. Cats are very small, vulnerable creatures, and to compensate, have evolved a very high birthrate/ starvation rate. Evolution is stupid. Sometimes it doesn't select for the fittest, but for the most irresponsibly prolific. As is demonstrated by most of the people you meet.
Cost: I think a cat costs about $2000 a year. The cheapest possible cat, the first year, is an adult shelter cat. But every year after that, food + litter +vet is over $2000. Way cheaper and more affectionate than a human, usually lives 15-25 years. There are lots of humans who want to be dependent on you. Don't do it! Cats and dogs are better.
Heh. People didn’t like it because it looked like a street cat. Meanwhile I adopted a newborn streetcat who was abandoned by his mom and HE’S FREAKING ADORABLE!
I have one and he’s my angel.
I am one of those
Do one on the Turkish angora!
Lots of comments here about picking cats off the street…THEY MIGHT HAVE OWNERS!
Get one from a shelter!!!
Adopt don’t buy.. there are many healthy cats in shelters that might get killed if they’re not adopted
We need Malaysian Shorthair breed.
Your videos deserve more views. You put so much thought and effort into them. They are truly professional.
Very informative, thanks
So my uncle's cat is confirmed A.S., he likes to play bite bite, luckily I'm quick, got caught once and it efing hurts, but we're friends now…
I definitely have no trouble eating in the same room as my cat. She knows to not knock things over, or bite on wires! She's quite an obedient cat! The letting me sleep in part is super accurate!
Can you please do a video on 'American Shorthairs – Must Watch Before Getting'?
My cat is so independent i love it. He does like catch large moths and small birds. Catches and kills some almost daily and likes to track them inside and eat them. its kind of gross, especially all the feathers. He does his toilet business outside with the dogs. Doesnt beg for food. Doesn't jump on tables or counters. Super friendly and curious. I've thought about it a lot, he's perfect!
No way lol my cats wake me up in the morning to feed them. Literally around 7AM, when I used to feed them, now they gotten used to it I guess and wake me up at that time
Very lucky that you American's managed to get your beautiful local shorthair accepted and still bred as a breed in time. I love our European shorthairs, but they're considered your typical domestic cat here as well and no-one breeds them in my country. Too late now unless the Scandinavian lines take off, but those are slightly different again.
I like healthy cats that look like cats and have a strong genetic pool behind them, having those bred and socialized by reputable breeders would give advantages that picking up some unknown stray would not. Unfortunately the British shorthairs look nothing like it and are becoming increasingly flat faced, a trend that I absolutely hate in all pet breeding. I can't fathom why any judge ever thought that looked healthy in anything.
My cat is this breed and I named him Sir Dudley Pippin-Biff aka Duddles😁 He was a rescue, my brother found him almost five years ago while driving on a mountain highway during a storm when he was only a few weeks old! We believe he might have been born on a nearby farm and decided to wander (he still has an insatiable curiosity he's very nosy). I had always wanted a cat so I adopted him as my son haha and he went from a smol, wet and shivering baby to the BIG 18 pound, happy & well-loved boy that he is now😊
I had an American Shorthair cat for nearly 8 years. I lost him in 2020. He literally was a part of our family. It's been 2 years now and I still miss him so much.
Love these cats
I have a question: the American short hair is the same as the Domestic short hair? I'm confused that's why I'm asking. Thank you.
I need a cat that does not demand to wake me up in the early morning. I am retired and sleep in. Will this breed be good for that and just wait until you wake up on your own? I want a male cat because they are usually less skittish. (Also, I am not about to pay $1000-2000 dollars!)
i have two, one named chi being a american shorthair mix with a munchkin, the other one being alot of a american long hair with a tiny ity bit of maine coon
Any tips on how to get my American silver tabby to stop screaming at night? We put toys and food out and have stuff for him to do but he still meows and yells all night
Yup I want one, this is perfect I work a lot and would love to have a pal that doesn't mind that, Letting me eat, letting me sleep. I'm sold!
I have a one year old American shorthair, his name is Jax…..he’s the calmest cat I’ve ever had and he’s probably my best friend…..when I wake up in the morning he sits on my chest and purrs loudly, when people come over he’s always the center of attention……and he’s a turkey and chicken addict if I eat chicken or turkey he needs a piece or he will meow loudly until he gets a piece lol
I got mine for 3 bucks from the humane society and it is a 1 month old kitten
Pov you really want an American shorthair cat but your parents won’t let you
My cat is an American short hair and she is soo cute and curious about new things and new people
I have one. My Boy Padding bear Ted he’s mother is a British lilac blue. She’s absolutely stunning. ❤❤
My American short hair cat named "Timmy" behaves like a dog.
I have a American shorthair tabby cat it’s a kitten it’s gray
PLEASE ADOPT, DON'T SHOP!
I have a adopt American short hair calico. This content is spot on, I was so surprised . All the personality traits describe my cat to the tee. I named her Sunshine Jellybean, she is beautiful and a mix of sweet and spicy like some jellybeans lol love her so much!!!
so these cats were just chilling in the forrest ?
Can you get an American short hair if you don't live in America?
Love love love mine. Found her at two months old. She’s now almost 4 months. Sooo energetic runs and does acrobatics everywhere. But also very loving. She thinks she can scare dogs away by pouncing towards them 😂 only when I’m near by though. Otherwise she finds me first. I love her, her name is Joy.
