British Shorthair
English shorthair cat
English short blue and white
The English shorthair cat is a general term for a breed, there are many kinds of colors, in addition to the mainstream color - blue (English short blue cat), the most representative is the blue and white two-color.
Unlike the blue cat, blue and white take the temperament-type route and appear sweeter and more well-behaved. If the blue cat is "silly", then it is "natural". unbelief? Look at their expressions.
The black and white two-tone English short was valuable at the beginning of the 19th century, and it was not until the 1960s that after several generations of color combinations, it developed into the blue and white two-color seen today. Black and white is extremely rare.
The prototype of Tom's cat?
It is said that in the cartoon "Tom and Jerry", which I loved to watch as a child, the prototype of the Tom cat was the English shorthair cat.
WHAT？ This blue cat with a bad smile and a slender body?
Tom and Jerry
Just rush this Short Big Round Face, I cast a vote against it!
Although Tom has a "white open face" and "white gloves", from the perspective of face shape, it is more like a slender Russian blue cat.
Maybe Tom in order to chase Jerry, over-exercise every day, coupled with malnutrition, a little miserable ~ ~
What do you think?
Most people prefer a cat with a uniformly symmetrical figure-eight white face, reddish copper eyes and a pink nose.
If the figure eight is higher, the eyes are usually golden, because the white gene will dilute the color of the eyes.
As early as the CFA (International Cat Love Federation), it was required that the color blocks distributed on the face and body must be completely symmetrical, but it is too difficult to achieve, so it is not that the asymmetrical blue and white are impure, but depend on the overall morphological characteristics.
How hard is it to be perfect?
Even if the face is symmetrical, the nose is pink, and it meets the characteristics of the English short standard, it is difficult to have a complete symmetry of the color patch on the body.
The open face and body color of the same litter of milk cats are different
Because of the white gene, it gives uniqueness in the distribution of color blocks.
So the chances of you holding the wrong "child" are low.
Even in a bunch of blue and white with eight faces, you can quickly lock in your own baby.
There is even a "heart-to-heart model", full of love, surprised or not surprised? This confession asks you "dare" not to be moved?
I love you all over my body
The white gene often manifests itself as white from the top of the limbs and calves to the feet, as if wearing white gloves, so this white color looks noble and elegant.
At first glance, it is a child who loves cleanliness
