British Shorthair cats are famously healthy and easy to care for; like any cat, though, they do need regular grooming and maintenance to keep them in perfect shape.
You will need a litter tray with a width equal to the cat’s length. The length of the tray should ideally be your cat’s length plus 50%
CARE...
Encourage to drink more water.
A way to help renal and UT issues is to supply your cat with a water fountain. Some cats turn their noses up to a bowl for various reasons. There are many variations of water fountains with pumps to provide a stream of free-running water rather than a simple gravity-fed waterer.
To thrive, your British Shorthair needs proper nutrition. Choose a premium cat food with a high protein content. Your cat requires a range of nutrition, if you are unsure you can approach your vet for advice on available brands and raw options.

Play Chase! Your British Shorthair is the descendant of generations of champion mousers and the desire to hunt is never too far below the surface.
British shorthairs need plenty or attention from their humans to be happy. Their dense coat needs a good comb or brush at lease once a week, especially in the spring when they moult the most.
They are a low-activity breed of cat, meaning that their hair tends to build up in their coats, so when your cat cleans herself, she licks up all the loose hair, ingests it causing hairballs.
I strongly recommend getting your British Shorthair a cat tree as it provides them with exersize and mental stimulation. They like to be high up and if you have small children or dogs it gives your cat the opportunity to get out of the way if need be.

it is always important to get your new kitten vet checked after bringing her home. Your vet can then answer any questions you may have about the ongoing care of your new fur baby. I would recommend frequent checks, at least twice a year. As well as keeping your cat up-to-date on her vaccines and worming schedule, these vet visits allow your vet to check for health issues. British shorthairs are very healthy, long-lived kitties but like all animals, they can occasionally develop issues.
