Smoothie is an astonishingly beautiful cat. She is super cute and very feminine. We are told that she is a British Longhair Cat. The British Shorthair is a well-known cat breed but the same cannot be said about the British Longhair.
The British Longhair is a very attractive cat breed. The breed is more attractive than the Persian because the Persian’s appearance has been destroyed by over-breeding or ‘ultra-typing’. I am referring to the contemporary Persian. The traditional or Doll Face Persian is not dissimilar to Smoothie in appearance and neither is the Australian Tiffanie. In the fact there is a close likeness between the Australian Tiffanie and this British Longhair.
I would say that the Australian Tiffanie is certainly one of the most attractive cat breeds and the same can be said about the British Longhair.
Smoothie is female and she has 433,000 followers on Instagram at the time of this post. That is a hell of a lot. It is confirmation that she is considered to be extremely attractive. Her eyes are amazing; enormous and round. The eye color is brilliant. Long hair is always popular and enhances the appearance for many people. She has an extravagantly plumed tail. She has a ruff and piles of fur between the toes à la the Maine Coon.
Smoothie is a British longhair out of 2 British Shorthair parents (black Golden shaded x blue Golden tabby) , who both are carrier of longhair genes. But as with a lot of Golden British cats, there was crossmating in the pedigree with Persian to widen the genes since Goldens don’t have a lot of different bloodlines.
I know all of this since Smoothie was bred by my sister, but she don’t breed anymore since 3-4years.
The comparing with the Tiffanie breed I don’t get. Shape of the Jaws are way different, also ear size..
Smoothie is nice because of her big perfect eyes, but as for the breeding standards of British Longhairs, she isn’t that perfect 😉
Thank you very much Romana for commenting. Your comment is very useful and it adds to the page substantially. Take care.
could you give us the name of the breeder of Smoothie?
Christine, I’ll have to check and get to back in another comment.
Christine, I am afraid I don’t know the name of the breeder. What I’d do it to search on Google, Instagram and Facebook using the following:
“smoothie british longhair”
and see if you can find the breeder that way. There would be a good chance. Good luck.
She looks just like a golden chinchilla cross, especially because of the eye colour/eye-liner; and lack of ‘tabby’ marking in the coat. There were a lot of shaded silvers bred in BSH when seeking the chinnies …………. the LH recessive gene needs to meet another one to show up. Very pretty lady, indeed.
I agree with you Carol. I was a bit surprised she was described as a Brit LH. But there it is….Thanks for commenting.
What a sweet BEAUTIFUL kitty! I want one!
Oh, she is just precious. Love her expressive face.
Michael__I Agree
Smoothie is ‘Beautiful’& Sweet’.
I think this cat is unique in every detail.
What a precious girl with a cute disposition.
