Domaća kratkodlaka pasmina mačaka

Domaća kratkodlaka, koja se naziva i britanska kratkodlaka, pasmina domaće mačke koju često nazivaju i običnom, ili uličnom mačkom; dobra izložbena životinja, međutim, čistokrvna je i rodovnica te je pažljivo uzgajana kako bi odgovarala postavljenom standardu izgleda.

Karakteristike

Prema standardima izložbe, domaća kratkodlaka dlaka treba biti čvrsto građena mačka s jakim kostima i okruglom glavom s okruglim očima i ušima koji su zaobljeni na vrhovima. Dlaka mora biti kratka i može biti bilo koje boje prepoznate za dugu ili perzijsku. Neke se boje, poput plave kreme, rijetko nalaze u kratkodlakim; ostale, poput boja tabby (srebrna, smeđa, plava i crvena), su uobičajene. U Britaniji se kratkodlaka zove britanska kratkodlaka dlaka da bi se razlikovala od ostalih pasmina klasificiranih kao strana kratkodlaka.

Iako uličica, ili uobičajena mačka, može nalikovati rodovlasnoj kratkodlakoj, to nije čistokrvna životinja; radije je kombinacija pasmina i može se znatno razlikovati u obliku i dlaci od čistokrvne kratkodlake.
