It is one of the most ancient cat breeds known, probably originating from Egyptian domestic cats imported into Britain by the invading Romans in the first century AD. In modern times it remains the most popular pedigreed breed in its native country, as registered by the UK's Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF).
The breed's good-natured appearance and relatively calm temperament make it a frequent media star, notably as the inspiration for Tenniel's famous illustration of the Cheshire Cat from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In the more modern era, a blue British Shorthair is the subject of the original "I Can Has Cheezburger?" image, credited with popularising the lolcat phenomenon.

Thanks to Iris from Taiwan for the lovely cat card and stampsfor my
sister ( I seriously think my sister gets really nice stamps on her cards :| )
Recently came across a British Blue at the local mall , it was a stationery shop
and a CAT CAFE, with 9 other exotic cats from Persians, to British Blue and
a Himalayan. I already have 7 cats but if I really really could buy a cat it would
be a British Blue, they look like teddy bears :)
