The American Shorthair cat is considered to be one of the best felines at catching mice. In fact, it’s estimated that one in three pounces results in the catch of a mouse. Because of this the American Shorthair earned the title of one of the best mousers. In fact, the Pilgrims brought the shorthair with them on board the Mayflower in order to keep the rat population to a minimum. During the California Gold Rush, miners paid several weeks’ wages for a shorthair mouser. The American Shorthair is an intelligent breed and one of the more popular breeds as well. The shorthair can be found in over 80 different colors and color patterns. The main patters include solid, tabby, tortoiseshell and calico. Their shorthair requires little to no maintenance making this breed a relatively easy keeper. If this sounds like the cat for you, please contact your vet clinic Shreveport, LA to learn more.
