The appearance of a pet is a crucial stage in the life of any owner, and if you already have an image of an ideal thoroughbred friend in your thoughts, it is important not to make a mistake when choosing. Some useful tips on how to distinguish a British kitten from a purebred one are in this article.

Išoriniai skirtumai

Once upon a time, the first British were bred from their ordinary yard relatives, but over time it was possible to achieve the purity of the breed, and now the British baby is easy to distinguish from the usual one even in appearance. What do British kittens look like and what makes them different? First of all, these are soft rounded ears, a large round head, a wide nose without a hump and hollows. Notable features are thick legs and a large neck. You can stroke the kitten: the British coat will be soft, short and very dense. The tail will also help to determine the British kitten – thick, densely stuffed with wool and round at the end. It will also help determine what the British kitten looks like, and the color of the baby. In ordinary kittens, white, gray, reddish prevails – it is clearly distinguishable on the fur and often stains. The color of the British kitten is usually monochromatic. The coat condition of the British, like any other artificial breed, is important to maintain with proper care, for example, daily combing and properly selected nutrition.

How to distinguish a British kitten not only externally? For example, at the point of sale. Real Britons can only be found in kennels with professional breeders. Purebred and healthy kittens are not sold in markets or other public places. 

It is important to ask the breeder for all documents. The pedigree must indicate the breed. The symbol of the British is the mark BRI / BRL.

Experienced breeders recommend picking up kittens at the age of 3-4 months – by this time the baby has already mastered the basic skills. Signs in the behavior of even the smallest kitten will help to better understand not only his mood, but also his well-being. Over time, a large smart pet will grow out of a British kitten, sincerely in love with the owner. The British don’t bite, don’t scratch, and can even learn some commands.
