It’s not that the British Shorthair is worthless, but it may not be as valuable as the purebred British Shorthair. The British Shorthair atavistic cat is a long-haired British Shorthair cat. Most of the genes of the British Shorthair are very stable, so the phenomenon of British Shorthair atavism is very rare. Moreover, the earliest British Shorthair cats were bred from the mating of long-haired cats and short-haired cats. Therefore, British Shorthair cats have the recessive gene of long-haired cats.

Tip:

Most of the kittens bred from British Shorthair atavistic cats will be normal British Shorthair cats, so even if your own British Shorthair cats have atavistic phenomena Don't worry too much. However, the Chuan Chuan cats bred by mating British Shorthair and long-haired cats may also look like long-haired British Shorthairs, so there will be many cat dealers who deceive customers and say that they are the British Shorthair's ancestors in order to make a profit.
