American shorthairs are good friends. Here are some things about them: They came from Europe on the Mayflower and were originally named Domestic shorthair. American shorthairs have many varying personalities. They are good with children because they are a tolerant breed, making fantastic family cats. These cats are one of the most popular cats, with about 8,000,000 in the USA! This is because they are a beautiful and gentle cat. A mix of breeds, these lively cats have a muscular body and long tail. The males are bigger, but both genders see 6 times better in the dark than us! This makes them good cats.
