Living with
The British Shorthair is slow to mature, and will be fairly playful as a kitten. A mature Shorthair is a very mellow and amiable cat, though many often have occasional burst of energy, during which they dash off and gallop about the house for a moment. Luckily the British Shorthair is not destructive, so your furniture and curtains should be safe during these bursts of energy.
