Temperament
The Domestic Shorthair is best summed up as one-of-a-kind, adaptable, loved. Expect a cat that's right in the middle of everything you do, mostly in comfortable silence. Chaos rating 3/5 means a daily zoomies window is part of the deal.
Care Notes
Grooming: Minimal effort. A weekly once-over plus nail trims covers it. Exercise: with moderate energy, plan daily play sessions and a climbing spot. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
