British Longhair

Cat

The British Longhair, is a medium size, long hair domestic cat breed, originating in Great Britain.The rationale for this breed is that the original longhaired British cat, through interbreeding with imported longhairs, was developed into the Persian and became increasingly massive and extreme in type with long, thicker fur than the early Persians.
