Summary
About British Longhair
British Longhairs are sturdy, medium‑large cats with a plush semi‑long coat and round “teddy bear” look. Calm, polite, and quietly affectionate, they suit many homes. They’re moderately active, need regular grooming, and are generally healthy when bred with attention to heart, kidney, and joint care.
About Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
