The British Blue (or British Shorthair) is the descendant of cats brought to Britain by the Romans a long time ago. It has a cute round head and chubby cheeks. These cats have short legs, a rounded body and big, round paws. But don't call them fat - they don't like that. And they are supposed to look like that. The British Blue may not be the most lively cat breed around, but it's certainly not lazy. Just easy-going and calm. A nice, relaxed cat!
