Kat my Daughter-in-law's favorite kitty is her cat Angelina Jolie, or Jolie for short, and she is an American Shorthair Cat. I want to share something s about this great Breed of Cat here in my Breed Review.
The American Shorthair Cat comes in many colors although the silver version is the most common. Jolie happens to be a Silver one. They have a distinctive "Bulls Eye" Pattern and it is the distinctive hallmark of their Breed. Breeders describe their build of body as substantial. The American Shorthair is well established among Breeders. To qualify for Cat Shows a American Shorthair must meet these criteria. They should be strongly built, well balanced and give the impression of power, endurance and agility. A look of a "Working Cat". The American Shorthairs neck, back, hips, and shoulders are wide and the legs are short and powerful as well. They should have a Round Head and Ears and the Eyes should also be Round. The Nose is Short but not pushed in like the Persians. Grooming is a breeze since they are a short haired cat. They do need to be brushed every now and then though. Be sure to clip their claws because they have a tendency to grow fast at least little Jolie's does. She has to have them clipped once a month they grow so fast. Also keep their ears clean. Health Wise they are a hearty cat. Jolie is in good health. Her momma takes her for her shots every year but other than that she is doing great! She is a very special loving kitty just like her breed! Love you my Little Jolie!!!
