origin

The origin of the breed can be traced back to the streets of Brazil. It has changed dramatically since it went from being a street cat to a pedigree cat. It is not the first breed to evolve from a street cat , as the American Shorthair or the European Shorthair show. The Brazilian Shorthair was born from an experiment. Brazil had cats that were different from other cats in the world. However, all Brazilian street cats shared a common appearance and characteristics.
