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
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. ❤❤❤❤
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.
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.
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😺👍🏼😘
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 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.
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%
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.
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!
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! ❤👍
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
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!!!!!!
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.
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 😍😍.
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)? 😎 😁
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.
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 🐈🐈
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
How was the factory edge? It looks like a folder. Locking? The smoothness of the action? Lock rock? Engagement? Comparison to TRM Atom? Ease of sharpening? Self Sharpening? How well did it work with the KME? Difficult to clamp and maintain an angle? Mirror polish? Angles? Sisal rope tests?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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!!
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.
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!
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
Monty M Nairne SA thanks for your informative knife and multitool vids on Victorinox 91,93 & 111mm knives and Leatherman that I own. I especially love the Basil cat vid. My daughter owns a ginger persian who also occasionall suffers from odd guzzy eye. And we often clean it. What easy eye spray do you use to treat Basil? Please. And where do you get it? Love your wideranging knife videos! Cheers Monty
I'm tired of people coming down on responsible breeders for the crimes of irresponsible pet owners that just let their animals roam, unfixed. Good breeders are not the problem.
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.
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 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!
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 😺
The way he lays all crooked against the wall is just brilliant. And how he casually slides backwards... as if he actually intended it : ) that cat has real character. My daughter would love him. I bet he's great with kids. I guess most people are attracted to getting one because of their appearance but IMO their nature's are even more of a reason to have one, especially if you have a family.
Science has proven petting cats, dogs, birds, etc reduces stress.. Just rescued a British shorthair,been 3 weeks and he's told me he's lost and needs love......Great video ❤️
Does anyone else kind of yearn to hear his reviews of family members? He's got this odd talent of quantifying what makes beings lovable that I think could be amazing if he expanded his purview of review to humans.
I also have 2 british cats. They are great. Previously I've had cats I adopted but their personality was always hit and miss. Some would bite and be aggressive. When I wanted to get another get I decided I want a british cat both due to looks and personality. Their personality is great, very calm and they never bite. In 4 years we have them they never even once bit us. Even when you annoy them they never dare to bite you.
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

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 just named my kitten Teddy due to his look. I didn't want a cat, but after years of my wife's begging, we got one and he is absolutely adorable.

He’s still a C H O N K in our hearts so cute
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.
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.
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 😉😉
Cat and Knife guy too, right here!
Basil is a very cute aristocratic cat, his portions of the videos are just the cherry on top.
He's beautiful! Thanks for sharing him with us 😃
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!
I'm so happy im getting one of these
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.
They are beautiful cats both Basil and Lemon! 😍😍
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.
He looks so soft!
Any domestic cat is its own world's best cat!
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
Basil is cute and beautiful just the way he needs to be! ❤️
dude, your cats seem happy, you seem happy and that's what matters. Rock on.😻
A little thick behind the edge, but nonetheless a gem
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 🥰
Basil looks so soft and plushy. if he was my cat it be cuddles 24/7.
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.
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
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!
He is absolutly perfect and I would love one just like him! 😍
6:03 Basile, “Oh yeh, review. Ok. Just go on judging me sir..”
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
BSHs are such lovely cats. They are naturally cobby and are a larger cat. He looks wonderfully healthy.
The name:British _Shorthair_
The cat sheds enough hair to make a wig.
Why are they called,shorthair?
Monty M Nairne SA thanks for your informative knife and multitool vids on Victorinox 91,93 & 111mm knives and Leatherman that I own. I especially love the Basil cat vid. My daughter owns a ginger persian who also occasionall suffers from odd guzzy eye. And we often clean it. What easy eye spray do you use to treat Basil? Please. And where do you get it? Love your wideranging knife videos! Cheers Monty
its the rufus and coco tea stain away from the supermarket
I absolutely love this scootie big booty boi!! Lemon is gorgeous too. 💞😍
Basil is adorable, you are lucky to have him! ❤
I'm tired of people coming down on responsible breeders for the crimes of irresponsible pet owners that just let their animals roam, unfixed. Good breeders are not the problem.
Agree with you 100%! We spent that on our rag dolls, worth every penny.
Don’t let those negative comments bother you! And no need to justify your actions as clearly Basil is in a loving home.
Thanks for the review. Very useful to hear the particulars before buying.
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.
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 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!
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 😺
The way he lays all crooked against the wall is just brilliant. And how he casually slides backwards... as if he actually intended it : ) that cat has real character. My daughter would love him. I bet he's great with kids. I guess most people are attracted to getting one because of their appearance but IMO their nature's are even more of a reason to have one, especially if you have a family.
Basil is amazing! Qq - do you have any recs on show quality breeders? I’ve been looking for weeks and can’t find any.
The grey cat looks too comfortable there .. he needs to start paying rent hahahah
Thank you for the update!
Just stumbled on this video at random. Sorry about the mean people in the comments. Your animal friends all seem lovely. Thanks for your perspective!
I love Basil! He's so cute and fluffy!
Science has proven petting cats, dogs, birds, etc reduces stress.. Just rescued a British shorthair,been 3 weeks and he's told me he's lost and needs love......Great video ❤️
What is the Rockwell rating of Basil's claws? And how many times can they cut through sisal rope? This review is missing key data points.
Does anyone else kind of yearn to hear his reviews of family members? He's got this odd talent of quantifying what makes beings lovable that I think could be amazing if he expanded his purview of review to humans.
I also have 2 british cats. They are great.
Previously I've had cats I adopted but their personality was always hit and miss. Some would bite and be aggressive.
When I wanted to get another get I decided I want a british cat both due to looks and personality.
Their personality is great, very calm and they never bite. In 4 years we have them they never even once bit us. Even when you annoy them they never dare to bite you.
One of our neighbours has one of these he's so friendly, whenever I see him now he'll run over and then roll over for tummy rubs.
Forget what those haters say ... That kitty is deliciously plump and I'm here for it. So beautiful...
No matter the video you always have the best music!!!
Hey, thanks for the video! I have a mostly indoor BSH too - where did you get the netting for the back door? I need something like that
