Bringing Home Your Royal Highness: A Guide to Owning a British Shorthair or Longhair

Thinking of welcoming a charming and dignified feline friend into your life? Look no further than the British cat breeds! Renowned for their plush coats and captivating eyes, both the British Shorthair and British Longhair boast a temperament that is truly fit for royalty.

However, before you bow down to your new feline sovereign, some preparation is key to ensuring a smooth transition for both of you. This guide will equip you with the essential knowledge and preparation tips for your new royal family member. We’ll also discuss how you can find your ideal feline companion at CatKing Cattery in Toronto.

Preparing Your Home for Royalty

1. Create a Safe Space: Before bringing your kitten home from CatKing Cattery in Toronto, designate a quiet, comfortable area where they can acclimate. Equip this space with essentials like a cozy bed, litter box, food, and water.

2. Kitten-Proofing: Ensure your home is safe by securing loose wires, removing toxic plants, and keeping small objects out of reach. British Shorthairs and Longhairs are curious and will explore every nook and cranny.

Gearing Up for Your Feline Pal

Just like any esteemed guest, your Brit kitten deserves a well-appointed welcome. Here's a shopping list to get you started after the cat adoption process.

 

1. Kitten Food: Discuss dietary needs with your breeder and choose a high-quality kitten food formulated for their specific age and breed.

2. Food and Water Bowls: Opt for stainless steel or ceramic bowls, which are easy to clean and won't leach chemicals. Consider getting elevated bowls to promote better digestion.

3. Cozy Bedding: Provide a soft bed for napping and a separate litter box with unscented clumping litter.

4. Scratching Post: Scratching is a natural behaviour, so invest in a sturdy scratching post to save your furniture.

5. Toys: Keep your kitten entertained with a variety of toys that encourage play and mental stimulation. Wand toys, catnip-filled mice, and puzzle feeders are all great options.

6. Grooming Supplies: Depending on the coat type, you might need a slicker brush for Brit Shorthairs and a long-haired comb for Brit Longhairs.

Health and Veterinary Care

1. First Vet Visit: Schedule a vet appointment shortly after the cat adoption process. This initial check-up will ensure your kitten is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations.

2. Regular Check-Ups: Establish a routine for regular veterinary visits to monitor your cat's health. British Shorthairs and Longhairs are generally healthy but can be prone to obesity, so regular weight checks are important.
