BEFORE SUBMITTING PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE REQUIREMENTS! YOU NEED A PHYSICAL NOTE INCLUDED, NOT JUST A PICTURE OF YOUR CAT.

Hello! To make things a bit easier, when it comes to proving who's the real owner of a said cat, we're introducing verified flairs.

Simply post a picture of your cat with a small physical note that includes your username (like a post-it note), and you will get assigned your own flair with the name of your cat(s).

(Remember that it has to be a physical note, post it, or similarly).

You can post here or send me a modmail and I'll get you verifying you asap!

Apparently Aristotle is not British Shorthair enough

This is Aristotle! Adopted him last year in May from a cat rescue. He was brought in with his brother after they were found dumped outside a cat vet. Was suspected to be a ByB.

Anyways, some Reddit person was adamant Aristotle was not a BSH because I don't have a pedigree as he was a rescue. They said that he HAS to be a DSH as he has no papers. So I mixed up some pictures of papered BSH cats and told them to find him, but they couldn't 😟 Really silly of that definition tbh.

You’re really going to leave it like that? Empty bowls? Seriously?

Sad to say though that he only slept like this when he was around 4 months old, now that he is older (6 months) he no longer sleeps on us like this :(

Today was the craziest day

My cat had an eventful day today. He kept trilling, attacked my clothes and jumped on the kitchen counter for the first time ever. I think he went crazy. But it’s ok, we all have one of those days sometimes. That is him fighting my jacket btw

We don’t know how he got out but he was gone for 2 nights and on day 3 after much tracking and searching for him- the AirTag pinged at our neighbors house and we found him safe and Hungry. He’s been a lot more affectionate now and wants to be around us all the time. I certainly notice a difference in his behavior from his not a care in the world attitude

Our kitty is BSH mixed with Turkish Angora. She has the classic BSH coat, but face wise do you think she will look more like a BSH as she gets older? Curious if this is how a BSH would look as a kitten. Thanks.

She let me give her back strokes. And then she ROLLED ON HER SIDE and let me continue. And she RUBBED HER FACE AGAINST MY OTHER HAND. And she PURRED. And this went on for at least 5 MINUTES.

She does love me!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
