Resume
The ancestors of British Shorthair Cat can be said to have "prominent military achievements". As early as 2,000 years ago, the ancient Roman Empire Era, they followed Julius Caesar everywhere. During the battle, they relied on their super rat-catching skills to protect the Roman army's food and grass from being eaten by rats, fully ensuring the safety of the military rear.

At that time, they were brought to the UK and, relying on their strong adaptability, gradually evolved into the indigenous cats of the UK.

It is said that the cat brought to Britain by the Romans a long time ago was the ancestor of the British shorthair cat.

Later, through improved bloodlines, the short-haired breed of Yingling local products was formed.
