American Shorthair
The American Shorthair is a type of domestic cat. Though the American Shorthair is a natural breed that developed in North America, their exact descendant is unknown, however, it is widely believed that they arrived on the continent with early settlers from Europe. American Shorthairs can be described as calm, good-natured, and friendly with children. Their coat patterns offer many varieties in terms of colour and all coat patterns on American Shorthairs tend to be short and dense. This breed has the life expectancy of 17.95 years. The gender of the cat does not appear to impact its life expectancy rate. American Shorthairs are the ancestors of many other popular breeds, such as the Scottish Fold.
