What about edge retention - how many curtain cuts can he make? :P

My previous comment had nothing to do with anything.. I was simply seeing if I was, in fact, able to post a comment as for some reason I was not able to on the other video I was previously on.... strange.
NEED UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO...MORE DICKHEAD
CHOP CHOP
look at this boy...... An absolute unit

In awe of the size of this lad
Absolute madlad
Australian for saying the boy is fat...

So true.
1978: *hoping to have flying cars in 40 years*
2018: cat reviews
Eh, it's a good trade-off.
Worth it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Instead of dumb flying cars we got The Internet; filled with cat videos! So what do you mean? 🤨
Thats better
I want a pillow with the exact shape and texture as this cat.
Hahaha
Hahah :)
Funny Dude!, I wish 2
I want a cat the exact shape and texture of this pillow.
YASSS THIS BOI IS TO CUTE
My summer body inspiration
Did I really just watch a full review on a cat... yes I believe I did haha
Brad Minor love your last name xD If you'd have a second name your full name would be something like "Brad A-Minor" xD or "Brad D-Major"...(sry)
Lmao me too!
I’m kitten shopping!
Me 2😮
As a british person I think he looks a bit like the average british person.
HHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
Omg I agree as a British citizen
Yh miserable
@@QMR02 better than being deluded
Mild mannered, stoic, and a nonchalant gaze?
My british blue was about the same size (8.5kg), he was such a friendly and calm gentle giant and was my best friend for 14 years. I miss the dude so much :'(
yes, a person can get extremely attached to such a warm fuzzy presence, I've done it and I've never gotten over it.
I'm sure those 14 years were absolute bliss when in the presence of your beautiful blue boi
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
wow what a good chunky friend 11/10
What about an unboxing video?
One does not simply remove a cat from a box
“Him and his platonic life mate Lemon” my heART 😫
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
Look how sweet and fluffy and huggable Basil is 😭💛
Look at that fluffy BIG BOY
The things you do to him during this video is priceless. He doesn't seem to mind at all.👍
Mike Likes Knives Haha Basil don t give a fuck lol
My dog is like that. She goes limp when you pick her up and lives being moved around and manipulated. Lol. So sweet.
@@youtubingbabs that is so cute! I can totally imagine her doing that hahaha. One of my old cats was like that too, very tolerant and sweet-tempered.
He just can’t say the words
This review wasn't very helpful. I still don't know how to use this cat.
No good for batoning.
@@StraightOuttaJarhois the legs can come off but are very durable
Theyre the only ones that come with instructions in English!
Omg haha
?? A review isn't meant to be a tutorial. This joke makes no sense at all.
0:13 Gently chokes cat.
1:53 gently strokes cat.
2:27 gently tugs basil’s loose skin.
3:18 gently shakes cat.
Too cute
4:32 squeezing the cat’s cheeks
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
2:27 is my favourite. Grab that loose skin and SHAKE IT
a cat review... if I could review my cat, I would share how many things he has broken in my apt. I still love him. It's an abusive relationship (I'm the victim) lol
Same. I had two amazing smart mischievous boys. I had them 18 and 20 years. Haven’t wanted any more after them. My review of their life would include lots of destroyed property and jealousy peeing. My older boy would pee on my ex husbands stuff all the time and he got diabetes. He would never cooperate with being on a diet and would aggressively steal food. My other boy was an escape artist who’d scare me by disappearing for a day or two after escape but come back and smack at the door to come back in. He also loved singing at 2-3am followed by a loud barf. They were both high maintenance cats.
@@karenabrams8986 i feel you, I FEEL YOU
onlyfans?
In the cat's defense, you are imprisoning him against his will.
Star Sloth lol
stumbled upon his video in my recommended and I’m crying of laughter this is legendary this made my day what a good thicc boi
I’m gonna hold back for the m390 sprint run
My mum just got her second Brit, after the last one passed away just a few weeks shy of 16 years old. These guys have a TON of personality and quirks, although we can already notice massive differences between her old and new brit. The old loved peace and quiet and wouldn't sit in your lap if you'd watch TV with anything audible going on. The new one will go to sleep right next to a stereo blasting loud music and sleep so soundly you have to poke him to check if he's still alive.
Mine was a wonderful british long hair. A mix between a british and a persian. We had him for 3 years but he passed away recently due to an accident. My parents have always been interested in britishes, that's one of the reasons we got him since we're living in an apartment unit. It'll probably be a long time for us to consider getting one again(it has been 4 days) but I commend both of you and your mother for being strong enough to welcome a new member. Best of luck.
Basil is SOOOO COOL!
His body spills over when you hold him in your arms ahhhhh what a precious chunky boy 😭
Is there an unboxing video I missed of this cat?
Review score: 12/10. A very good cat.
Okay but I laughed at your thumbnail for like 10 minutes
Amylrii I wondered if it was a stealth Simpsons reference
Basil tested to the MAX
"As a kitten they come small" thanks for the info
czcams.com/video/MRN38gkXw3U/video.html
1:56 I’m cracking up how he’s speaking with his hands and then lays his hands on the cats head and the cat doesn’t even care lmao
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
They are a very chill breed 🤣
I guarantee u were sent this cat in PR and paid 60000$ to do this review
i wish!
😂😂
Tea😏
Where do I sing up for this ?
@@rioeiokha9653 daaaammnn okur
Basil is one handsome cat.
I owned a British blue just like this one he was less chonky tho, he died of blather and kidney problems he became 10 years old i never met such a intelligent human like animal ever in my life. Its like a 5 year old boy in a cat body but then extremely relaxed and alpha. I miss him still everyday
Next episode: British Shorthair Cat Reviews the Human Caretaker
Bazil's an adorable fluffy pudgy thumper.
You can not go wrong, with a british shorthair
;-)
@HeavyDutyTraining well, done
You can go wrong, short lifespan
@@rioeiokha9653 I mean the median is 12.5 years and some of the cats live way past that, so they still live longer than many other pets
He is so pretty! I LOVE his plush fur! He looks like a fluffy teddy bear!
I have 3 cats, 2 British shorthairs, and one tabby. There all EXTREMELY old. The tabby is 21 and the 2 brits are 12 and 15. After having them for so long, I would indeed say they are the best cat breed.
you have a premium cat
This is a perfectly informative, interesting and entertaining video about a cat. Don't get why people lose their mind about the word 'review'. I'm usually a dog guy, cause most cats I've met were pretty distanced, if not hostile. But this cuddly grey furball would make a great addition the cuddly black furball I already have (bulldog). Have fun with your shorthair :)
British shorthairs are exactly like bulldogs, you're so right. Never thought of that. I'm a cat person but I would bring a bulldog home any day. They're so gentle and chill.
It's a joke anyway
1:55 the way he puts hes hands on the cats face hahahahah
LOOL
I thought this was going to be a comedy sketch, but no, this guy genuinely reviewed a biological organism.
Yea something very slave market about it.
I was wondering the same thing.
Exactly my thoughts. WTF is going on?
Ain't no way around it, the idea of reviewing a cat or any pet/loved one is just cringey. My intention is not to troll, but for me and atleast 150 other people, this title was an epic fail. #CHOICES
Not a bad idea at all actually. Getting a pet should be a well informed and correct decision.
If you need a cat sitter, send him here to Vancouver Canada and I'll worship that kitty
Hello Felicia how are you doing today
I find that almost every male British short hair cat is just like Basil. We used to have one but he sadly died :( now we have three female ones and they are not even nearly as friendly as the male ones have been for me. I would personally recommend getting a male British short hair :D
Oh my goodness!
This sounds wrong
I'm so sorry
I got one after watching your video. Absolutely love him! He is 3 months old now and he's as large as an average street cat. Even the vet is amazed that a 3 months old cat almost look like an adult. Since they have the same eyes, every British shorthair seem to have the same soul. I see my cat in other people"s British shorthair.
But is he a gem?
Nick Shabazz I enjoy your watch video reviews Nick! What a surprise finding you here. We are looking at getting a British shorthair next year.
Can he ship Basil to you so you can give us the good, great, bad, and ugly?
John Ryan the good, great, bad, and *snuggly.
An absolute unit.
Disciple of Shoopy what’s a unit
the relationships these cats have particularly with children is really special. great temperaments and extremely patient. i think all children should be raised with pets in the house where possibly. i'm so glad my parents always had dogs and cats around when i was growing up.
What a beautiful sweet big boy. Love him. Thanks for sharing Basil with us (and great name too, so fitting!)
Hello Kadee how are you doing today
This is my first time watching a person reviewing a damn cat in youtube.
bro have you heard cats 101? they basically review's every cat breed. Stop being ignorant.
@@skjor1989 How is he being ignorant
@@skjor1989 lmao imagine criticizing someone for being ignorant while you are
@@braydenholland8200 Because he doesn't educate himself. That is why he is ignorant. cats101 reviews cat breeds they even rate how its health, it's behavior and if it is easy to groom Cat.
@@mockingspongebob773 I'm not gonna go down to your level.
I've had three shorties and they're the best. My first cat was a Basil too. He's beautiful, maybe a bit too big if you don't mind me saying, just like my Basil!
BSH's are a bit prone to being overweight, especially being an indoor cat. I'd cut back on his food a little gradually to help his overall health as he's still a young cat. Enjoy your beautiful boy. X
Your cat is absolutely adorable 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love him so much
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
"Fear not, I am R O B U S T."
I'm feeling a strong 8 to a light 9

Traaaaaansition
Thanks for the review! The Amazon reviews were 3.5 stars so it’s nice to see a personal review before I jump! I hope they deliver it with prime!
Christian Andrew
this made my night from a 2/10 to a 10/10 😂😂
thank you!
WTF! Don't listen to a fucking Amazon review! These cats are amazing! I own one and everybody falls in love with my Romeo
Christian Andrew
This is a joke right . Unless there really sold on amazon then .YEET!”
@@humananonymous7927 Amazon Animal?? 😂
So cute! An absolute Winston Churchill of a cat, all he needs is a top hat!🙂❤️
Never knew I needed a cat review but here we are
I have 2 British shorthairs and they are the chillest cats my friends have ever seen. People always think they're massively obese but all British shorthairs have a flabby pouch of skin that hangs by their back feet. Such sweeties
curious how many time Basil could cut thru sisal rope before becoming dull on held paper?
We can tell how much you love your animals. My husband and I watch your knife videos religiously and when I saw the word “reviewed” plastered next your cat on the thumbnail I HAD to see it 😂 this was a fantastic video! My husband and I recently started a knife channel on CZcams after building on Instagram and one of our other great loves in life is definitely animals, so it’s really cool to see another person in the community who has a passion for animals (and knives) the way we do too. Keep the videos comin!!! -Kara & Jerad
I love Basil! I had one named Bubba that blessed me with 10 awesome years (I lost him to cancer). He looked just like Basil. They have amazing personalities. And they are incredibly intelligent too!! Bubba could sit, roll over, and sit up on command; only for food of course XD. He also figured out how to flush the toilet. His favorite thing was to unroll toilet paper and flush the toilet. Then dash across the house at high speed. I miss him. Much love from Texas!
flushing toilet? wow. wish my brit cat was this smart lol
rotund
ok but at 2:08 the cat’s foot goes inside that shoe.
*boop*
Thank you so much for making this informative and wonderful video. I loved it and it's made me even more excited about getting my two sibling British shorthairs in December. Much appreciated.
Hello Ella how are you doing today
Him: I am reviewing the British shorthair cat after three years of-
Me: feeding and feeding him
xD
My cat is a British Shorthair mix, she's 15 years old and got a bit of arthritis in her hips, but is otherwise in really good condition! Hopefully I've got a few more years with her, she's a lovely cat.:)
Basil is such a cute cat! You can really see how happy and content he is :) I also looove the thick fluffy fur British short hairs have, there is nothing alike. When you pick them up your hands basically sink into the huge amounts of fur, it’s amazing!
Basil is adorable! Thank you for sharing him with us.
I just so desperately want to smooch his face.
Basil had B O D Y don't you basil indeed
kitty needs more hugs , such a good boy
Male Brits are the absolute bestest cats (!) As you can see in this video . . . you can handle them a lot and they're not only okay with it but even enjoy the attention. One thing: it's true that they are great family cats . . . IF they grow up in a family. But they're also very loyal to just ONE person . . . if that is the situation they grow up in. My four year old (second Brit that I've had . . .) and I have always lived alone with rare visits from outsiders. And he's not too enamored of visitors . . .
My British Shorthair cats were left alone a lot by their previous owner, but they're very good with strangers and the male hates being handled too much. You can't pick him up since he's too strong and he can get moany if you touch him too roughly, but he very rarely lashes out and has never really scratched me, only hissed an batted at me. The female is very small and I'm super rough with her but she always comes back for me. The only problem is her nails are too long so if you're not careful she can accidentally graze you. She literally doesn't know how to hiss or growl and is very vocal. Not aggressive at all whatsoever, yet all of my scratches are still from her due to her claws accidentally hooking.
I love my babies.
I have a male british shorthair and he is so patient! I have never been hissed at!
I have 2- twins called Fred and George- they cost a small fortune but they're the prettiest boys, they're going to be huge- they're only 5 months old and the size of a regular cat. They're super calm, cuddly and affectionate. They've never bit or hissed or growled, they're so happy to be handled and cuddled like babies - something else I noticed is that whenever we have guests round they're at the door, and want to be involved. Everybody comments on how friendly they are. Xxxxx
Thank you so much for this video! We just purchased a british shorthair for around the same price and more but realized that it was a great investment our young family! My other kitty at all have any interest in my son, whereas, my new british shorthair Mary is super lovable and sweet!
Was going to adopt a stray kitten but realized they would have clashed too much with my older kitty. So thank you for this informative video!
I hope my new kitty will grow up showing as much affection as your Basil!
I paid £4000 to bring my cat from Portugal to the UK . He was a stray living in the street so it was money very well spent .....
lol love it!!
Strays and mutts are just as perfect as a pure breed or whatever.
Andruşca A. I would never get a pure breed .... i am completely against breeding animals for profit .... I had a Siamese cat a few years ago but it was a rescue too, he was abandoned by his previous owners . So many strays need a home, it’s disgusting to be feeding the immoral business of animal breeders ....
You're crazy, the UK has thousands of strays why on earth would you import a foreign one? Or was it for Facebook attention
So handsome!!!! Great looking cat!
I’m so glad this came up on my recommended videos. I already wanted a British shorthair, now I have to have one ASAP
Super cute little dude!
I was expecting a joke video but then you hit us with sound info & advice on having this type of cat. Kudos to you, sir. And give all your animals a pat for me, Pat. 😃
Basil’s so beautiful
5:17 I like how the cat is trying to be friendly with the Husky and the husky gets scared when he brush on him and then the cat get scared and turns to look at him. super cute cat I would love to have this cat if i had a house of my own.
My cat does the same and my female poodle hates being touched by her, such a pity
Totally agree!! Meoow 😻😻😻
I'm getting one too this Sept. I’m so excited! ❤️❤️❤️
This videos so wholesome, thank you for making this
I LOVE THESE CATS! We have three of these at our house and there amazing
I love British Blues too. Not to sound negative or anything but only this year did I realise the truth about breeder's who sell cats, dogs etc. There's really no such thing as a good breeder. It is all a business for those people who sell cat's and dogs for money. Basically I worked in a vet's for my work experience and different breeders come in everyday. They deliberately make female pedigree cats become pregnant over and over suffering. Once they can no longer give birth the breeders will have them put to sleep. Essentially it is a business and anyone who pays for a cat or dog instead of rescuing the many who really need love and care ought to think twice.
Now a lot of people who want a cat or dog are unaware of this so of course it's not your fault. Just know that in future before adopting a pet.
Christian Lionel we've adopted many times in my life, I was going to adopt from a breeder once, but we found two British Shorthair cats needing a new home and so we adopted them.
It's fine to adopt, I think the problem is that a lot of people are unaware when buying a pet from a breeder that they are essentially funding their business and encouraging them to keep making money out of it. I think at the end of the day people can do whatever they wish. It's really just awareness of how most pet breeders are.
It always depends. Most times, a breeder will tend to bring a cat/dog that is incurable or have illnesses that will cost them more than they will want to pay. That is the only reason why a vet will or may have to put down an animal. However some vets will take the animal in and try to treat them so that they make a full recovery which they can then rehome. Sometimes even the staff at the vets will adopt them as they have cared for them during recovery so of course their will be an emotional bond.
This week I had to visit a rescue centre. I have learned that rescue centres are overcrowded. It's very sad but each week a vet will visit a cats/dogs rescue centre. They will ask the staff there to put down 20 cats/dogs that hadn't been adopted to make room for more. This happens on a weekly basis and it is up to one individual staff member who has been assigned the job to choose who to have put down. They told me it was an extremely emotional job after caring for them and then choosing who gets to live and who has to be put to sleep. This is one of the main reasons why people should consider rescuing because rescued animals need it whereas one's that are bread are well looked after already and are designer pets.
Christian Lionel it's good you're spreading awareness, and people should rescue. Though, in some countries it can tend to be a different story and you really can't. For cats, after the fourth generation of being feral I believe, are fully feral, and are insanely difficult to care for. In the US its different since most cats escape, breed a little bit, and are then taken in. In China where I took a feral kitten off the street, she was super sweet at first but after leaving her for a week alone while on a trip she was really nasty when we got back and always hid, along with my other cat who wasn't so much as aggressive but was instead constantly scared of everything and under stress. We gave then the best lives we could, but we had to put both of them down: the first one being because he had gotten a blocked bladder and the second one because we couldn't take care of her anymore. Honestly, it was traumatic, thinking back on it.
Yes, people should rescue. But there's a big difference between a great breeder who loves a breed and their animals almost obsessively and someone selling cats on Facebook because they're irresponsible. How many cats have you adopted? I've adopted three over the years and I've had one Siamese.
Mate ur cat looks adorable and appreciate your review as well, I'm kinda thinking of getting one myself!
Hands down, the best cat review I have ever seen. I would greatly enjoy a pudgy gray cat now. Thank you.
Wtf kind of diet can produce such a *chonk*
Your cat is so beautiful and fluffy and healthy. I've been dreaming of owning a british shorthair. 😍
Basil looks so chill I love him!
I’m picking my baby basil up in 3 days it was yours videos that helped make my mind up on which breed to own . Thank you 🙏🏻
best wishes for a wonderful life with kitty 😀😀
A little big for daily carry?
We had a ragdoll cat. She was the runt of her litter and never weighed much more than 3kg. She was a fairly typical cat in the sense that everything had to be on her terms, and most of the time she had little interest in physical contact, but she was also well behaved & never jumped people or anything like that. Generally she would either be sleeping or hyperactive, whereas Basil seems to like to waddle around a lot kinda like a dog.
Ragdolls are known for being pretty floppy when picked up & I guess that was true although she would get annoyed & squirm free pretty quickly.
She had a lot of kidney trouble later in life which could cause her pain & she had to be put down suddenly after developing a blood clot in her kidneys that moved to her brain
Losing a pet/family member is never good. How old was she?
She was 12 I think, so she had a good run. I was never close to her most of her life but in her old age she started to sleep on my lap all day every day until she suddenly wasn't there anymore.
It was a rough few years... Nanna & (grand)Pa, Mum & her cat, Nanna's dog & myself all lived together. First Nanna's dog died of cancer, then Nanna died of cancer, then the cat died. Half the family gone, such is life
@@Dreska_ sorry to hear that. My uncle and Aunts dog just got put down. I've known her my whole life, and I've never had a pet so I was pretty sad. I've been fortunate to have a healthy family and have had no deaths in my 13 years alive, so I consider myself very lucky.
I couldn’t recommend this breed enough. Mine have amazing personalities, are affectionate to the point of actually being more dog like and don’t have a nasty streak that most cats do. Even vet trips where they’re in pain they don’t lash out.
Basically BSH are just big fat silly cuddly bears 😍
Mine isnt very affectionate and never cuddles netiher comes for pets, is that normal for that breed? :(
I'm obsessed with this breed!
I want to get a cat for my dog and I think this kind will fit right in!!!
Such a gorgeous creature!! ❤
He is gorgeous,, love him alot everyday. We lost our 5 yr old maximus last sept, at vets,we re heartbroken,he was a love, he had hcm known in this breed,we had no idea his heart was so bad,awful am,worst day of our lives 😰he was gone within hours,so ill
In owe of the size of this lad,
*ABSOLUTE UNIT*
the healthy range for a male British Shorrhair is actually 4-8 kg. 9kg is overweight and it's going to result into bone problems later in life. Quite sad to see this.
Only 1 kg over he’s a big bigger tho looks like a beast though
@@Jesus-ji8dh "only" 1 kg.
Might be acceptable on a human who's about 70kg but a British Shorthair should range between 4 and 8 like I said, with an average of six. So he's 50% heavier than an average cat.
tyg lmao he big
tyg merry Christmas btw
Quite sad lol
Awwwww him is sooo cute and chunky!!!🥰 Also I love his name
So gorgeous. Thank you for showing this cutie
Aww baby Basil was so cute.
I have a 6.5 year old Ragdoll I got from a well known show breeder which sounds exactly like how you've described Basil in every way except obviously the appearance. Big breed (males get up to 10kg) that's super easy to handle, indoor only, cries to attention every now and then, interested in everyone in the family. She's super loved thanks to her fantastic personality.
One thing I would disagree with if the finances of owning a cat. A single vet visit is close to $100. As a first time pet owner, I had calculated I only needed to spend $400 a year after the first year. I was so wrong!!! Indoor cats need less vaccinations but they still need to be vaccinated against things like cat flu and enteritis. Also the tablets and drops used for prevent worms/fleas etc. Admittedly I spoil my cat with raw beef (the $20/kg kind from Coles/Woolies), Prawns or Japanese Scallops quite frequently as treats on top of her dry food that's left out (she's able to pace herself and only eat what she needs without getting fat).
I would highly recommend buying pet insurance as well. I pay like $400 a year for her which covers 10k annually for unexpected vet problems. One time she bit off a piece of foam from a children's play mat at home and it got stuck. Out vet bill came out to $6k that time. She did the same thing again a year later with an unknown rubbery material and the vet + hospital bill was $16k in total. Paying $6k out of pocket sucked but things were really bad (the hospital asked us to consider euthanasia) but luckily she survived her operation and hasn't had an incident since.
Ragdoll median lifespan is 12 years. I feel like despite the temperament of many purebreds making them desirable, I would consider adopting a rescue as they seem to have a longer average lifespan if kept indoors and don't seem susceptible to breed specific health issues.
His daddy was a grey seal I reckon. 😁
Gorgeous! Can't wait to get my BSH blue-point tomcat general Hideyoshi, after he learned all the necessery things from his mum :)
