Are British Shorthair cats brachycephalic?

Yes, British Shorthair cats have a slightly brachycephalic head shape, with a round face and a relatively short nose. Still, British Shorthairs don’t usually suffer from the chronic breathing problems or eye infections associated with brachycephaly. Because their tear ducts and noses are not excessively ill-proportioned, they have far fewer respiratory issues associated with extreme brachycephalic features.
