Among the most popular breeds of cats
around us are the American Shorthair cats. In the United States, you will mainly find
this breed of cat. It is believed that this breed of cat owes its origin to the
English cats. It was brought to the United States by the early settlers
of Europe. They brought this cat in order to
protect their valuable cargoes from rats and mice. Slowly, this new breed
started adapting itself to the climate and life in the States. The American
Shorthaired cats have thus become the dwellers of America. Towards the beginning of the
21st century, a breeding program of selective kind was set up to
develop these cats with a view to enhancing their best qualities.
