American Shorthair cats are intelligent and curious. They love watching birds through the window and are famous for their daily bouts of „goofiness". For breeders, the draw is the huge richness of coat colors and patterns.

This is the pattern breed of Catmaster: four tabby patterns – classic, mackerel, spotted and ticked – plus silver and cameo shaded coats controlled by the inhibitor gene. With 22 eye color variants and 10 nose variants, no two American Shorthairs look alike.
Each cat rolls one of six personality types. A dominant American Shorthair gets a bonus in agility contests – a hardy, athletic breed that does well in the agility ring.
Their ancestors arrived in America on settlers’ ships as working cats. The breed was registered by the CFA in 1906 and received its current name in 1965.
Four: classic, mackerel, spotted and ticked, each 25% likely in the wild population. Combined with silver and cameo shaded coats, the breed offers the widest pattern variety in Catmaster.
Silver and cameo shaded coats appear when a cat carries the dominant inhibitor gene, which suppresses pigment in part of each hair – a mechanic modeled on real cat genetics.
