1. Friend or foe
British cats take a long time to get used to humans. Building a relationship with a host can take a very long time. However, when this does happen, the cat will respect the person's personal space and will hardly try to dominate the “pack”. Strangers in the house are another matter. The "British" will treat them with systematic mistrust and disdain, and may even show aggression.
2. Cleanliness to madness
British cats are pathologically clean. They lick a lot. Overall, there is nothing wrong with that. Except that the tray behind a given breed needs to be cleaned as soon as it needs it. Otherwise, the cat will most likely find another place, since it will disdain to fulfill its natural needs where it already did it 15-30 minutes ago.
3. The weak point is the eyes
The weakest point in the health of a British cat is its eyes. They must be constantly and carefully monitored. Quite often the "British" eyes are actively watering. Therefore, it is important to clean and wipe them up in a timely manner. It is also recommended to periodically check with the veterinarian on this account, if you do not want the cat to get sick and go blind.
4. Hostility to children
The British breed respects human space, but it does not really tolerate when they climb into its own. Children are the most active in interfering in the affairs of cats. Especially small children. Therefore, British cats have a very difficult and even hostile relationship with them. Defending its "I", the cat will scratch, bite, paw the "little impudent".
5. A ghost started up in the house
Have you decided to get a British cat? Make sure you love opera singing at night first. And for one thing, ask what the neighbors think about it. This is because the "British" are terribly active at night. Most of the time, cats just grumble, grumble and grumble. They also climb anywhere. However, they can perform at 02:35 and something louder and shrill.
6. Lion appetite
The diet of the British breed must be carefully monitored. These cats do not know how to restrain themselves. If the owner wishes the good of the British cat, then it must be fed according to a strictly verified diet. Otherwise, the cat will at first become very angry, and then it will start to get sick.
7. "I'm tired"
"He was such a cute kitten!" You should immediately be prepared for the fact that British cats remain active and playful only in childhood. As soon as the animal crosses puberty, it becomes inactive, sedentary and even lazy. Almost all physical activity dies out as soon as adulthood begins.
8. "Don't touch me with your hands"
If you can keep the "Briton" on your knees for more than 3 minutes, then your name will forever be entered on the British cat owners' board of honor. In other words, you need to be immediately prepared for the fact that this breed does not like to be in human embrace because of the word “absolutely”. Yes, this breed looks exceptionally pretty, but alas, it will not work to carry the cat everywhere.

9. Enemy of plants
If you have a British cat in your home, first make sure there are no more flowers on the windowsills. The fact is that the breed in question has a frankly bad manner of trying everything that grows out of the earth. The cat is guaranteed to bite and nibble on all the plants in the house that it finds. This sometimes leads to stomach problems.
10. Middle name - Pride
A well-known fact: it was not a man who tamed a cat, but a cat - a man! On the example of the British breed, this circumstance is best manifested. These cats are guaranteed to believe that it is not they who live with you and you, but you entered their own territory.
