If you like British shorthair cats and think of getting one I want to give you some advice:
1. We have a lot of energy until we are 3 years old. That is when we reach maturity
2. We like to follow you around everywhere: in the bathroom, all around the house, we stay with you in the kitchen while you cook(and not because we want your food, but because we like being near you all the time)
3. We are very curious cats. If you want to fix something around your house we will stay there right beside you until you finish
4. We live around 18 years or maybe even 20. So be prepared to get old with us
5. We like to fetch just like dogs. Just throw me a ball and I will run to get it in my mouth and return it back to you
6. We are pretty low maintenance cats, we are happy with what we have: just a clean litter box, food and fresh and clean water
7. We communicate with you a lot. We like to talk to you and give and receive attention
I like them part with watch you because they like watching me play game online and also when i make ikea furniture
I can say that all 7 points apply to our sweet little British Shorthair boy
Every single one of these things is the exact opposite of a problem.
Also British Shorthairs are some of the cutest cats in the world. I love their rounded faces and cobby bodies. ❤❤❤❤
"and not because we want your food, but because we like being near you all the time"
Sounds like the perfect cat!
We had a shorthair when i was born up until i was about 9 years old. That damn cat took better care of me than my parents did. Man i miss him
Smh man at least u had something in your life that actually cared and loved u.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your cat😭😢🥺
I cried a little bit seeing this comment
@@Madihakazmi
I own a Domestic ShortHair Cross, this might not help but I feed my cat the purple Iams bag

I can’t believe I just watched a cat review.
......I guess it makes a change from a phone review! lol
@@robtyman4281 yeah lmfaoooo
When you say it in that way I feel dump....🤣🤣
That's a great cat right there
British Shorthairs are the teddy bears of the cat world, chilled out, happy, friendly and so laid back. Rarely upset or angered unless it's a dog or pet they don't like or a person, they make nice companions and are easy to get along with, asking for no more than your attention, a friendly pet, food and love.
I’ve had my BS muffin for 3 years now since he was 16 weeks old and I’ve never seen him hiss or get angry. He loves to be around but isn’t a lap cat. Loves to play. Will folllow into the bathroom and hide behind the shower curtain and play catch the “mouse behind the curtain” and he literally just loves to be his own person has a huge ego and will meow and yodel so loud so he’s heard when he wants into a room or out to the roof terrace.
I can’t believe you got so much negativity. Those people need to go away! I love when basil makes it in the videos! He is hilarious
Do Not engage the trolls!
TOTALLY AGREE!!! 😾😹😻
What negativity you mean?

New here so I’m glad I missed the lameness
$1000.00 for Basil is a bargain. Top cat right there.
@@davidrieger8816 golden British short hair?
I paid $2000 for mine..
He's absolutely gorgeous :D
I paid 400 for mine
I paid $1500.00 for my boy.
We British shorthairs are royalty, humans should feel privileged to be our royal subjects.
Yes, but you're also really friendly and you make strong bond with humans
@@eyeeerie yeah true
It’s weird asf you’re referring to yourself as a cat ..
@@nasirgrant4307 furry alert
I'm a BSH (more specifically a British blue) too, and so is my bro & my mom, but I don't really see humans as servants, just subordinates, because I'm not old enough to explore the world yet.
I feel you mate, about all those "too fat comments" BSH are JUST BIG CATS!!! :-)
Puffy cat
BS are just puffy cats.....or is it "pouffy" cats....it's that simple.
That cat's gut almost hangs to the ground, but sure, it's just big boned...
BigAnimeTiddies That sagging loose skin on his belly is called the Primordial Pouch. It’s a natural thing for cats.
we look like brother s 🤣😂
Your previous video review of basil was the reason we felt comfortable buying a British Short hair in November. I’m so glad we did. We totally agreed that the money we spent on our Henry is repaid every day in smiles and laughter. Much more than anything else we can buy otherwise. I just want to thank you for your videos. Love the knife reviews as well.
Where did you get your British Shorthair?
Hello :) today I reserved Tabby British Shothair Girl I can't wait :)
That is SO CUTE! 🙀😻😻😻😸
My BS lilac point female with beautiful light blue ye, weight 5.2 kilos, hard to control even with satiety food bought at the vet. So much love to give and receive😺👍🏼😘
Your animals are obviously VERY happy and well-adjusted, don't take any of that criticism seriously, you are wonderful caregivers!
Build a new cat with the hair
Wait what?
Hold up
I dont think that works like that
🤣🤣😭😭😂😂
@@KitKat-qr1ne Have A Break! Have a Kit-Kat!
I can't have a cat right now, but I am just obsessed with British shorthair! I'm glad to hear you are so happy with Basil! Your animals are beautiful and obviously well cared for.
That is SO CUTE! 🙀😻😻😻😸
I am in the same situation, can't have pets at my grandparents, but I'm getting a british shorthair as soon as I move.
I'm super dumb 1 time I begged my mom to adopt a cat my mom was sure that I will never get more than 80% in exams so she said if u get 80% in exams I will let u adopt a cat she just said it cause she knew I will never get it but this time I'm pretty sure that I will get more than 80%
I refuse to be limited in my appreciation of Basil's chonkitude!
Make that a new word
What a beautiful cat. So calm and laid back as well. Seems like the ideal family pet. They seem to have a definite affinity with children. Really nice breed.
Love these cats. We have 2 Male British shorthairs here in the UK. They both have great personalities. Both are indoor cats and live very happy lives. My last British shorthair lived until he was over 19 years old. In fact, data shows here, indoor cats live nearly twice as long than a outside domestic cat ( due to road deaths and disease). The vet recommends to keep British shorthairs indoors. I also had the outside domestic cats ( 15) over the years ( I lived on a farm), they are great, but the British shorthairs have completely different personalities, they are more dog like and have funny attributes. Ignore the haters, it is your business what pet you buy or have. They haven't got anything better to do than criticise what other people do. The important thing is Basil and lemon make you and you make them happy! ❤👍
That is SO CUTE! 🙀😻😻😻😸
I’ve got two female British Shorthairs in the UK they defo act like dogs and follow u everywhere 😂. But we just love them 😍
I’m getting a British shorthair of my own in 2 days, because I’ve always wanted a cat and my aunt already owns one. He’s about 3 years old and I’ve always been very fond of him. Last Christmas, me and my cousin were playing a board game and the cat sat in the box of the game next to us (and then he walked all over the game). He lies on his back, always sits in a corner, goes limb when laying down and is over all a very affectionate boy. These cats are great and lovable and I recommend them to people who want an affectionate cat who is also kinda lazy
Insidious! You're getting the knife people into cats, and the cat people into knives. A perfect storm of people you don't want to get stuck in a conversation with. I should know, I am one of them!
I'm two of them!
Me 3!
I'm getting a british shorthair and have watched these videos 10 times now :D Love your channel!
Basil looks great! We just lost our BS a couple of days ago... Horri was 16yrs 7 mths and 13 days old when he passed. He was the best damn cat we have ever had. It's funny, but they are dog like. He did endear himself to our friends. Everyone loved him. Our friends have brought around bunches of flowers, chocolates, dinners and cards for us over the last few days. He was a much loved family member. He loved our kids and grew up from a kitten as our sons best friend. He's grown up and married now, our son that is😊. Horri can never be replaced. But if we were to ever get another cat even with all the fur and shedding issues it would definitely be another BS. Highly recommend the British Shorthairs. My wife and I miss him so much...😢
At the end of last yr, i lost my 18.5-yr-old domestic short hair which was picked up off the street. i wandered into a pet shop and saw this cute BSH. I brought her home 2 weeks after 1st setting my eyes on her. I have not looked back since. Best decision I have ever made. Hope she could live as long as my last cat.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post more and more videos of Basil and Lemon!!! I am absolutely enamored by them, such beautiful kitties!!! You are doing a wonderful job being their human, keep it up!!!!!!
I just bought a British short hair a week ago with a similar price. We named him Apollo ♥️. I feel he's the center of everything in our life. First thing I see in the morning and before going to bed. I love him 😍😍.
I fucking love the “we reviewed our cat” vibe. I love the idea of “here’s the thing I love... I will rate it top cat of cats”
When it came to buying a pure breed I was in the same situation with my fiance, he wanted a hypoallergenic breed and bought a Siamese. We love him so much and we had no luck looking for ones in shelters. We don't regret our decision.
Wow, he's beautiful. I always wanted one of these but ended up getting a British Shorthair Tabby at 10 weeks old. She is now nearly 20!
Such beautiful balls of fluff you have there. Basil almost looks like a Disney CGI character.
Type in michael vegetables on TH-cam and click the cat. Magic...
I love this breed's substantial bodies and beautiful faces! I think they're totally adorable.
What breed is the calico cat?
Dont explain yourself He is obviously loved! I have 2 chunky boys they are a big breed. he is so well looked after, thanks for sharing. much love to them 🐈🐈
Great review and update! I also contemplated getting a rescue but ended up getting British Blue and have not regretted the decision. I've never known any cat to get along with kids so well.
We need more basil videos! 😍😍😍 he’s adorable 🥰
I tried 3 times to adopt a stray cat but sadly they always ended up being aggressive toward my pomeranian dogs. Pomeranians are pretty fragile and mine really don't like to play rough. In the end i needed to find new homes for these stray cats. I had given up on the idea of having a cat but after a few years i changed my mind and wanted to try again, but this time i'd do my research on pure breeds. After reading all the info i could find I decided to get myself a British shorthair female. I'm sooooo satisfied. The dogs and the cat get along great. They never fight, they are indifferent towards each-other which is perfect. They don't sleep together but they do sleep close to each other sometimes. I also like that neither of them need to be the dominant ones in the household, while the strays always wanted to be the boss of everything. I am aware that not all strays are like this, but i guess i didn't have good luck with these ones.
You are right, you had bad luck with stray. Or you could hve adopted kitten from rescue. We have 2 tabby from where they were 4 weeks old. Most compassionate and loving kittens. Super smart too.
Anne Yap I did take in kittens but as they grew they became more and more aggressive and destructive. Also they would knock things over around the house. My British shorthair listens to everything I say and has never ever knocked over anything. The most perfect cat I have ever had. Another problem I had with strays is that they would meow when left alone in the apartment while I’m at work. My British shorthair doesn’t mind being left alone all day, and she rarely ever makes a noise. And another thing I have to mention is that my cat never lets her claws out, while the strays would leave scratches on my lap and hands from playing rough with me.
I see. Will keep an eye on mine. I have a pair of boys. Only 6 months. They do play rough and if you don't handle them well yes scratches! Though I can't imagine spending so much on pet. But good that you found one you love.
Anne Yap I got mine for 100 euros. She’s not show quality but she’s a wonderful pet and friend.
Anne Yap honestly if I didn’t already have the dogs that I have, I would have kept the strays.
How’s the slicing performance now he’s less thicc behind the edge?😂
I think it is great that you provide more than knife videos and have enough confidence to offer humor, and share what is important to you and your family. Basil will make you famous !
Basil is so adorable looks just like British shorthair I once had so cute and funny too!
I got my first cat for my 7th birthday in August 1973, and I’ve pretty much always had at least one ever since. I like to have two so they can play together, but one of my wee boys, Dougall and Hamish, was run over a couple of years ago, so Dougall has to make do with my dogs Brodie & Arnie for company.
Sorry to hear, I know how much it hurts
He's beautiful! Thanks for sharing him with us 😃
I loved your first review and it was the last bit I needed to know before getting mine. I am very very happy with my BSH Boris 😍 and Dolores
I like your quirky videos. Please keep posting whatever the hell you feel inclined to post. Thanks!
How's the corrosion resistance in water?
Well he's not water soluble 🤷♂️
🤣Probably quite resistant if it comes to bathing 🛁

Myself as a chemist 👩🏼🔬.....I am DEAD 🤣🤣🤣. Comment of the week, mate! Thank you kindly
@@Mad.Chemist hahaha thx
AlaskanFrontier1
Ya welcome! I am still laughing at ur comment. Bloody hilarious!
BTW....this might sound slightly weird to you.... It’s more like a Russian sense of humour. 😳🤣 Hence it is even more funny to me....not only chemistry related comment. Not kidding mate (I am Russian by ethnicity but been in UK for 20 years now). 🤣 I suspect ya probably have some connections with Russia or any Eastern European countries (friends/family)? 😎 😁
They are beautiful cats both Basil and Lemon! 😍😍
Honestly, your "cat reviews" are so awesome dude. Some of the best content on TH-cam. Thank you.
Your last video convinced me to get a british shorthair :) Love to see an update on Basil !!
He's beautiful.An extremely gorgeous cat
You accidentally made your comment a link lol
British Shorthair cats are so lovely, the best family cats! I've grown up with 3 of them and I am so happy that my family chose this breed :)
Thank you for the update!
You did a great job of addressing things, and I appreciated your explanations. Your reviews have been very helpful, keep up the good work! Ignore the haters.
But has he reclaimed Chair Mountain?
Also, this video made me super happy for some reason. Had me giggling at the start and smiling all the way through.
I am not a "Cat person" but he looks like Garfield in diguise. And he looks very "fluffy" must be a heavenly feeling to have in your lap when looking at tv in the evening. I thank you for beeing responsible cat owners by having them as proper indoor cats.
that brush that you´re using for your cat is soo cool!! mine doesn´t take that much hair from my British cats so even after brushing they still have lots of hair
I love your video about your 2 beautiful cats. I have a British Shorthair who l am crazy over! He will be getting a brother in September. Thank you for sharing!
Might as well start a 2nd channel, Bricky & Basil Indoor Adventures
I'm so happy im getting one of these
Thanks for your review mate. I'm probably about 50 miles from where Basil's ancestors is from in the middle of England
Loved your vid as I;m getting a Brit shorthair myself at the end of the week. Hope my new little mate is as happy as your Basil and a happy good lad 😉😉
I wanted a British Shorthair and was searching for videos of their cuteness when I found your 1st review. Thanks so much for posting it! Definitely going to get one when I get a larger apartment, thanks to your insight! I’m allergic to cats, but I think I’ll be fine if the litter box is in its own room.
I do have a special request, Could you make a cute compilation video of Basil, if you have any footage you haven’t included on these two reviews? I can’t have pets in my current apartment and need more British Shorthair cuteness fixes. I’ve watched the 1st review at least a hundred times. THANK YOU!
My fiance wanted one so we bought one. Best descison ever. I love that big fuzzy thing and i'm not even a catperson. But damn what he sheds.
Im getting one next one so I'm watching alot of videos of this breed. If you brush the cat often, does it help with shedding?
@@ZephDweri Absolutely. Lovely breed of cat, can’t imagine any better.
@@hitsville9855 Thank u! Mine is ready for deliver in 1 month so im trying to learn everything about them ^^
Cat and Knife guy too, right here!
Thanks for the review. Very useful to hear the particulars before buying.
Ignore the haters! Love this. Got into this channel for the knife vids, but I'm a fellow cat lover so I decided to check this out. I didn't know anything about BSH cats, so this was very informative. Thanks for the great cat footage!
Basil is cute and beautiful just the way he needs to be! ❤️
I also have a British Shorthair cat. He is the best cat ever and I love him so much!
We just got a BSH kitten their temperaments are great. She totally stands her own with our rambunctious burmese. She has so much spunk we all love her 😺
Wow .. I didn't know shorthairs can shed that much fur! I have wanted a blue British shorthair since I was small! Thank you for sharing these videos!
A British Shorthair kitten here in the USA cost around $1750. So $1,000 is a great price. You’re cat looks very healthy and BSH’s are always on the bigger side.
He’s still a C H O N K in our hearts so cute
I’m about to get a British short hair. I’m excited!
I know I have the option of adopting a cat but I want a British short hair and I can only getting them from breeders. So you do you. I think you’re a great owner and thank you for your videos ❤️
Man, the fur tumbleweeds at my robot-vacuumless house are so copious as to be load-bearing.
Hoping we get more Basil & Lemon cameos in your future videos until any additional cat-centric vids strike your fancy.
A little thick behind the edge, but nonetheless a gem
He looks so soft!
Any domestic cat is its own world's best cat!
I remember watching your video before I had my (bread) cat. I wanted a British Shorthair after watching your vid. However due to my impatience I ended up buying a short Persian and I have no regrets. Your video was great and it's obvious you guys are good pet owners.
I’m thinking of getting one of these cats so this was really helpful to watch
He is absolutly perfect and I would love one just like him! 😍
I absolutely love this scootie big booty boi!! Lemon is gorgeous too. 💞😍
they are pretty. love that color fur and eyes
I have just gotten a male BSH cat but from a rescue and adopted him so whatever people prefer doing, I love the breed Andi have his pal also she's a female exotic short hair mix love them both
Your cats are beautiful!!
just ignore the haters, your cats look great, and expensive cats also need love and a good home 🥰
I recommend british shorthair cats. There is soo many lies about them like : they are lazy breed and they can't make such special bond with you, they are dumb not inteligent and they don't need so many attention and they are not elegant. The truth is diffrent. Whenever I come home my british shorthair cats welcome me and sometimes even jump on my shoulder. They are really smart and they know when i am sad or happy. One of my brithish shorthairs is always meowing loud and yowls when i don't give him attention and he needs to waste his energy somwhere. Also, they are really elegant when they cat - walk.
I don't mind a cat not being elegant. I do like a good sleek, angular cat but I LOVE cats with more of a rounded, cuddly look to them like this breed.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 but british shorthair cats ARE elegant.
I love Basil! He's so cute and fluffy!
Best video of any kind on TH-cam... Superb commentary... This vid has made me want to get a cat
Oh my goodness, I’m getting a British Shorthair, I live in Tasmania, I can’t wait, he was only born this week
Beware when buying a British shorthair (i have got 2) u have to brush them a lot especially if they don’t clean themselves properly 😂. Also there is cat fur everywhere don’t wear black clothes
I love BSH and I also have one. I have kept him since he was 2 monts old, very good personality with clam and quiet manner.
You are a great friend to basil and I love watching your video. Good luck to y'all
The name:British _Shorthair_
The cat sheds enough hair to make a wig.
Why are they called,shorthair?
Don’t let those negative comments bother you! And no need to justify your actions as clearly Basil is in a loving home.
I’m glad you made a review because it helped me decide if this cat would be right for me. I finally have my blue boy and I am so please.
Mi Mee you wont regret the best breed.
Basil looks so soft and plushy. if he was my cat it be cuddles 24/7.
Your pet vids are cool. I always enjoy them.
Basil is adorable. We have had 3 of the same breed and they are lovable teddy bears. We now have an adopted, what we think is a Norwegian Forest cat, who has a similar temperament.
Finally a long term update video. Dog review next!
I loved both of these videos.
Agree with you 100%! We spent that on our rag dolls, worth every penny.
dude, your cats seem happy, you seem happy and that's what matters. Rock on.😻
Gorgeous kitties. Enjoy them to the max!!!
Such a lovely cat, Basil is. ❤️you do it good
I only stopped by when i saw ur beautiful cat!!!! Love cats
Omg, your British shorthair seems exactly the same as mine. I have 2 we feed them raw food in the morning and canned food at night. They are perfect family cats like you said and absolutely everything you said is exactly the same for us
No matter the video you always have the best music!!!
We have one and they, as a cat are chonky.
But they're so lovable. Even though they hate being picked up. Ours is 2 years old and he still refused to meow.
I absolutely love British shorthair cats I have one called Blossom and her pedigree name is Lady Marmalade.. it’s no one else’s business what you do and how you do it, you certainly love your pets so keep on making these great videos 😺, the nay sayers are just well jel
Final fantasy music at the start. Epic!!!
I watched your Basil video from a couple of years ago and that inspired me to get a British Shorthair myself. Then I got a second one 3 months later. I am glad I live with Molly Malloy and Bonny Bonbon, but have to say their dislike at being held and their lack of vocalisations took some getting used to. I think maybe Basil is unusual in allowing lap cuddles. Anyway, thanks for the update.
What a beautiful well looked after cat!
