Cat breed

European Shorthair

Origin: Sweden

Also known as: Celtic, pelo corto celta

The European Shorthair, also known as the European and Celtic/European Shorthair, is a pedigreed breed of domestic cat. The breed's name has also been erroneously used to describe the non-pedigreed landrace domestic cat of Europe, causing confusion as the pedigreed cats of this breed also should resemble the typical domestic cats of Europe.
