The stunning fur coat of the American shorthair reminds us of the African cheetah. It has a lovely round face, stocky muscular body, and the fur coat has nearly 90 different patterns such as in American shorthair tabby, silver, solid black, plain white, bicolor, tortoiseshell and calico.
The pure bred “pedigreed” cats will always produce kittens that have same coat, body and temperament qualities, while other similar looking non-pedigreed cats will not. That’s a sign to allow you differentiate between both.
