After 10 years, finally getting my own cat!!

I’m so happy to say that after 10 years of wanting a British shorthair/longhair, I finally am getting one. Counting down on the days until picking her up.

Funny thing I fell in love with her the first time I saw her (pic 1) but the breeder offered a price that’s out of my budget. A few weeks later, the breeder told me there’s still 2 more kittens that’s left and whether i was interested in one of them for a discounted price. She send me a video (pic 2) and I fell in love with her again without knowing it’s the same kitten. I then did a video call with the breeder (pic 3), and all 4 of them are zooming around, and she caught my eyes again without knowing it’s the same kitten. After I reserved her I realize she’s the one I asked about in the first place. I guess I can prove that love at first sight is true, even with cats.

ps: I made her a instagram account and will post more pictures of her on there @princess.tuna.jnl

She went from Lap-Hater to Lap Queen in less than 24 Hours!

All it took was some treats and teaching her “lap”, “sit”, and “down”. We’re one day later, and she can now come lie down on my lap on command!

I can’t believe it 😭🥰

We’ve had her for 2 years now!

The Cat's Pain Mask

Every time I put eye drops in it, it keeps its eyes tightly closed, but I have to forcefully pry them open.

Trying to explain Brits’ feet to other cat owners…

One of my coworkers was describing how her dog hogs the covers and her cat steps on her pillow/hair and jars her awake. I reply, “yes, but does your cat rearrange your kidneys while stepping on your belly?” and she’s like “I don’t even know how to respond, what are you talking about?!” I said “Brit feet are different than any other cat feet, even Maine Coon. They’re like cement spatulas.” The biggest cat I had was a tuxedo who weighed 17 lbs and he would step on mice and so long. I used to tell him he was my cinder block, mouse crushin Bat Man 🐾

There’s so many things I’ve loved about my Brits over 25 years, just wondering if others also marvel at their babies paws?

What UK pet camera do you use to spy on your floof 😊

Hi all, looking for a good pet camera as I keep missing my floof when I’m away. Any camera recommendations would be appreciated

Lean on me

Does anyone else’s cat do this - sit beside you and just leans in and rest their head on you?

My British Shorthair still sounds like a little baby 😂

This is my British Shorthair, Charlie, 6 months old. He thinks he’s a wild, dangerous tiger, but in reality… he’s just this. 😂

I’m based in Southeast Asia, and the brands in these photos are the only reputable ones easily available here. Have you ever tried feeding any of these to your BSH? ☺️
