Which is more expensive: British Shorthair Blue & White

When it comes to British Shorthair cats, the Blue and White variant tends to be more expensive than the Blue variant. However, if the Blue and White cat has an unappealing appearance, its price may drop compared to the Blue cat. Ultimately, the price is largely determined by the cat's appearance and whether it is a male or female. The market price for British Shorthair Blue and White cats typically ranges from 2,500 to 10,000 yuan, while the price for Blue cats is usually between 2,000 and 8,000 yuan.

Even among Blue and White cats, those with superior appearance command a higher price. This is particularly true if the cat has pink noses and pads. A cat with a good look should have pink noses and pads, white neck patterns, wide, open "eight" facial markings, and a lush coat.

Part 1: Tips for Choosing a British Shorthair Blue and White Cat

1. The blue and white colors should be evenly distributed, especially on the cat's head. The colors should be bright and clear, and any mottling is undesirable.

2. The facial markings should form a perfect "eight," with the nose and four pads being pink. A desirable cat should have a white neck pattern, wide open "eight" markings, and a thick, lush coat.

3. The ears should be of moderate size, not too pointy, and the distance between them should be wide. The head should have a flat arc between the ears, not too prominent. The eyes should be round, the limbs robust, and the tail thick. When viewed from above, the cat should appear to have almost no neck, with a round face. The color of the short fur and the "eight" face pattern may not significantly affect the rating, as it largely depends on personal preference. Some owners are particularly fond of cats with small patterns.

Part 2: Tips for Choosing a British Shorthair Blue Cat

1. The face and head: The whites of the eyes should be a copper or golden yellow, with large, round eyes. The lips and nose should have thick, large pads, and the head should be round.

2. Pay attention to the body shape: The body should be robust and short, with thick legs and a tail. The best look is when viewed from above, the cat appears to have almost no neck. Long, thin limbs are not desirable.

3. Observe the cat's coat: The coat should be short but dense, resembling wool with good elasticity and bounce. The color should be lighter, and the coat should not be too long.
