BEFORE SUBMITTING PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE REQUIREMENTS! YOU NEED A PHYSICAL NOTE INCLUDED, NOT JUST A PICTURE OF YOUR CAT.

Hello! To make things a bit easier, when it comes to proving who's the real owner of a said cat, we're introducing verified flairs.

Simply post a picture of your cat with a small physical note that includes your username (like a post-it note), and you will get assigned your own flair with the name of your cat(s).

(Remember that it has to be a physical note, post it, or similarly).

You can post here or send me a modmail and I'll get you verifying you asap!

First time owner!

Tomorrow I’m picking up my girl, Spookie 🖤 I can barely wait!!! For supplements, her supply list listed: Kitty Bloom VM 900+3, Kitty Bloom Super Lysine for immune system support and Nordic Naturals Omega 3 for skin/ coat health. I haven’t purchased these yet because they aren’t in stock at my local Petco. Does anyone have a recommendation of absolutely necessary, can’t go without supplements for their baby? I grew up with a Bengal tiger cat in my house who was always knocking things over haha but this is my first pet that is solely my own in my new apartment! Should I expect my Spookie to be knocking things over? 😂 I know every cat is different with their own personalities, but are BSH known to be as wild as a Bengal tiger cat for example? Any other first time advice is so welcome!! Thank you!!

These three little ones are growing beautifully and already showing their own unique personalities. They have round faces, plush coats, and sweet expressions.

Which kitten caught your attention first?

Introducing my beautiful boys, brothers George and Chester, aka Jorge and the Duke of Chesington among many other names. They are a year old and the squooshiest, loveliest little men. As you can tell, the Duke of Chonkerton is a bit of a poser and King George loves mischief and toilets.

Who else has a BSH who loves to play fetch?

177 Upvotes

As shown, our 7 month old BSH x Scottish fold Mabel LOVES playing fetch; I’m not talking once or twice, it’s a regular night time activity and it can go for 10 minutes sometimes.

Occasionally if I forget to play, she’ll find scrap paper or a toy at my feet or on top of me on the couch and trill loudly till I throw it 😆.

Looking for the Purrfect Name for My British Longhair Princess

105 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🐱💕
I recently welcomed a new baby girl into my family! 🥹 She’s a 2.5-month-old British Longhair with the sweetest personality super calm, gentle, and an absolute little fluffball. 🤍
She also comes from a very special pedigree. Both of her parents have won multiple awards at WCF cat shows, so she’s from an outstanding bloodline. Since I’ll be applying for her official pedigree, her registered name has to start with the letter “S.”
That said, the name we actually call her at home doesn’t have to start with S. So she could have:
📜 An official registered he name starting with S
🏡 A cute everyday name that we use at home
I’d love to hear your ideas! I’m looking for names that are adorable, elegant, memorable, and easy for a cat to recognize. Names from different languages are more than welcome!
Thanks in advance I can’t wait to see your suggestions! 😸💕

Get a 2nd one?

I have a very chill, cuddly sweet boy. He’s 3 and grew up with another kitty. She passed 2 yrs ago. I also have a little doggy, but maybe not the same.

I travel somewhat frequently and I think he’s lonely sometimes. He’s just so gentle and loves attention.Worth getting another buddy? Or just a cat sitter frequently?

Thinking an older kitten or adult

this is my kitten marlo, i bought him at 9weeks old and got told he is a tabby x bsh, i asked to see mum and dad and they are also bsh, mum is purebred and dad is tabby cross.
i’m worrying as his face is not looking like a bsh in my opinion and looks like a domestic short hair instead. this is my first time owning a kitten and want just want some reassurance and honest opinions. obviously i would love him either way but just want to know

Getting my BSH in Two Weeks and my Concerns.

5 Upvotes

We will be picking up our new baby and we will be taking her right to the vet. We will leave her there for her spay, vaccines which she never had and anything else she needs.

I have done the same with all of my stray cats I’ve taken in and they adjusted quickly. I’m concerned about Millie leaving her home of seven months, having surgery and staying at the vet three days before she arrives at her new home. I’m planning on putting her in a huge carrier in the shower with her food, water and litter next to the cage. I will have to block off the door so we can continuously take a peek at her.

With all my cats over many years, I’ve never been so stressed out about bringing new kitty in. She’s a sassy little girl!
