Summary
About British Shorthair
British Shorthairs are sturdy, medium‑large cats with round faces, dense plush coats and many colours, best known in blue with copper eyes. Calm, quietly affectionate and suited to indoor or apartment life, they mature slowly and need moderate play, grooming and weight control.
About Khao Manee
The Khao Manee is an ancient Thai “White Gem” cat with a pure white coat and vivid eyes, often odd‑colored. Medium, athletic and graceful, it is sociable, vocal, intelligent and playful, bonding closely with people. Still rare, breeders emphasize health, hearing tests and diversity.
