Shorthair Cats
Cats are wonderful and diverse in stature as they come in many shapes and sizes but some of the most defining characteristics will come from the type of fur a cat has. The shorthair cat is another category that holds as one might expect, the shortest fur coat of the three. When selecting a breed, many cat owners will consider ease of maintenance and grooming, this is all relative to the amount of time available to commit to the daily task of grooming. A cat that is well groomed will exhibit a beautiful coat that is most lustrous. Owners should be aware that the effort put into maintaining a cats coat will be rewarded tenfold as time goes on and the continuous effort is worthwhile. Hygiene is always a major priority for any cat owner and grooming complements this through regular interaction and checking to avoid or catch many signs of ailments. The shorthair variant allows this proves to be carried out through much easier means compared the longhair and semi-longhair cats due to the length.
The shorthair is one of the most common cats to grace the earth and many cats fit within this category, for this reason todays cat market will be filled with a diverse choice of shorthair cats. The shorthair cats have a unique trait in their personalities compared to the longhair variants in that they are deemed to be most independent when caring for themselves. There is less emphasis on the coat of the cat as much of this is magnitudes shorter but this brings about another form of beauty that is focused on the shape of the cats body. Many cat owners will come to appreciate the shorthair cat for its own characteristics that are significantly different to the longhair. The addition of independence and lower maintenance makes for a most ideal selection for those wanting a more independent companion who will require minimal effort to receive outstanding treatment by their carers.
Shorthair cats come in many different colours and patterns and it is worth exploring a style that suits personal taste. Due to the vast diversity and amount of cats available for breeding, shorthair cats have been bred to perfection and it is often easier to gain access to a cat that is regarded as a perfect specimen. The shorthair can be classified into two classes that relate to the round faced cat and the other long limbed cats which are distinct in stature.
