As kittens, the British Longhair is a playful and adorable creature, with its huge eyes and fluff. When they mature, they are inclined to adopt more thoughtful and lazy behaviour, more given to planning and plotting than to physical involvement in cat-based chaos. They enjoy some time outdoors but are a little too trusting and slow to react, to be given free access to the wider world, and will need supervision and ideally, a cat-proofed garden or an enclosed ‘catio’.
The British Longhair is not a demanding cat, and as a quiet creature, they’re a little too easy to ignore, so care must be taken to ensure they are given plenty of social contact and ‘family time’.
