SHORT HAIRED CATS

SHORT-HAIRED BLACK

It is to the short-haired black cats that most superstitions apply, as they were known in this country long before the long-hairs made their appearance, and even today many people will choose a black kitten because they think it is lucky. The cats depicted in the old prints of witches and black magic are usually long and slinky, with slanting green eyes, very different both in temperament and looks to the ‘square’ British Blacks.
Black cats are found in great numbers as household pets, but they may have green eyes and white hairs somewhere in their coats, and it is not appreciated how beautiful a black cat can b3e until on sees a pedigree British, with a shining jet black coat with no signs of rustiness, and lovely round orange or deep copper eyes. It is very difficult to breed Black with absolutely sound coat colouring and not a white hair anywhere, although many conform in every way to the body and type standard required.
