You will need to keep his brain active by challenging him with tricks and providing puzzles toys which will earn him rewards when solved.

Buying a British Shorthair

Make sure to get your kitten from a registered breeder or a reputable source. This guarantees that you’re safe from any medical issues, have early vaccinations. Also make sure the kitten is aged between eight to sixteen weeks old. A pedigreed British shorthair would be an extra advantage. If you breeders are not too far away, you can pay them a visit so you get to see the parents and an image of how your kitten will look like. A breeder who turns down your request is most likely hiding something. I’d suggest you take off and find someone else
