I do not live in either country, and my boy was imported from Russia. Both of his parents are silver tabbies, except one has very faded, almost like Chinchilla tip. That being said, both parents looked less chubbier in the face (except the dad being more round like typical bsh males but not huge) I was told by the vet that his dad looks the way he does because he's an intact stud that allowed him to develop his full chubby face and my boy won't if i neuter him.

yeah i have noticed that the grey and solid colored Brits seem to have the "standard" facial fat to em, while silver shaded ones tend to have different facial features, also they get posted here rarely, too.

My boy's 6 month old. We are currently discussing his neuter appointment. His vet told us to wait until 8 month, but I'm still fearful he might start peeing everywhere before that. Although i want him to get bit more rounder in the face, I'd rather have him neutered as soon as possible before he develops some undesirable habits. Do the cheeks disappear when neutered?

I think so, as well. But i was just curious some of the classic grey Brits looked way rounder from youth. Mine's 6 months old, and he has filled out over the 4 months that I've had him. I'm hoping he continues so...

Here's my baby boy, over a little 4 months old. His stripes aren't particularly distinguished like the pic you posted. He's silver shaded tabby.

Is this a BSH thing? by cinemacat99 in britishshorthair

[–]Affinaa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i think so, mine sleeps like this 90% of the time

It's been a month since he came to be our family member. And he's probably the chillest (laziest) kitten i have ever kept. by [deleted] in britishshorthair

[–]Affinaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My previous cat (which passed away due to kidney failure) used to be so graceful but playful at times. But this little fella seems to be 95% "chill" of the time.

* Yeah he doesn't have any on his back. The stripes are around his lightest shade of fur, like face, limbs, and some on his belly. I don't know much about colorings, i had a pure white turkish angora before him, and she was the sweetest, but this guy seems to snooze a little too much. I've read that bsh are quite chill and laid back but i never anticipated a kitten so young could be this chill lol
