The American Shorthair

If you are looking for a cat who is calm, quiet and content to be on your lap, you can seriously consider the American Shorthair. These cats are generally healthy and easy-going. Due to their soft nature, these cats are affectionate to family members and social with strangers.

Originally from England, these cats found their way to America by ship around 300 years ago. Sailors took the cats along to get rid of rodents on the ships, and the cats went ashore with the early settlers.
