One of the oldest European breeds, the British Shorthair traces its ancestry back to Roman times, when the cats arrived with Roman soldiers and quickly spread across the English and European countryside. Also known as European Shorthairs, these working cats hunted rodents before becoming one of the first recognized breeds and show animals in the late 19th century. Although nearly extinct after World War II, the British Shorthair re-emerged as a popular pet during the late 1940's and 1950's. Originally the cts wore only a solid blue-gray colored that remains popular today, but many other solid, shaded tabby and spotted patterns now exist.
