There is a cat breed with hanging ears, mistakenly called British. They are quite similar to each other. In fact, when they say "British lop-eared kittens", we mean babies of the breed Scottish Fold. These cats are very similar to the "British", and they can have both folded and erect ears.
The “British” have big round eyes, most often they are bright orange, they come in a different shade, but their color is always very bright and saturated. Finally, British cats have amazing beauty and structure “fur coat”, it is very thick, soft. The pet, which is properly looked after, has a characteristic “plush” fur. In order for the pet to be healthy and look excellent, you need to work hard. Only if the food is full, high-quality, and care is adequate, the owner will have healthy and beautiful British kittens. How to feed touching babies? First of all, we must remember that our domestic animals, both dogs and cats, are predators. Accordingly, they require a diet characteristic of this order of mammals.
