Talk:European Shorthair

message: Have modded introductory paragraph, for a more banal, but less controversial version, employing a translation from the French featured article, which carries greater nuance as perhaps intended by the Fédération Internationale Feline. AS a possible reference, I suggest Domestic Cats: Their History, Breeds and Other Facts By Nancy Robbins, p159, which describes matters confusingly, but thus : "It was so until 1982 when FIFE registered the Scandinavian type of European Shorthair as a separate breed with its own standard." In this sense, the article needs reworking in all languages to reflect European Shorthair as a super-genre, within which various sub-types, including British, Scandinavian, and doubtless others, are recognized, alongside common European shorthair cats that share very similar features, and which are generically termed European in literature and popular usage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.186.30.44 (talk) 15:38, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I have added some text to this article. can somebody add the photo from the swedish wiki(http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europeiskt_korth%C3%A5r)? but that is infact an "bondkatt".

A "bondkatt" is never a european shorthair. "Bondkatt" is actually another word for "huskatt", and european shorthair is a breed with a pedigree. //Erika, Sweden, 2007-09-19
The information in this page is not correct! A "bondkatt" is a moggy without a pedigree and a european shorthair is a cat breed with a pedigree. All european shorthair cats have a pedigree! See for example: http://www.catsunited.com/html/europaen_shorthair_breed.html or http://www.eurooppalaiskissat.net/english.htm. Could someone who writes better english than me fix that, or should I just remove the false information? The artikle would become very short if I did...

message: Please find a scientific source that shows that this cat would originate in Sweden, else remove those "facts". The sources that claim this are of low quality and doesn't in turn cite it's own sources. It really sounds very improbable. Most likely is that the swedish cat fanciers defined the european shorthair breed, and they thought the cat came from sweden cause it is so common here. In reality these are regular specimens of the usual shorthaired domestic cats, that can be found all over europe. I think that wikipedia should not perpetuate the myth of the european cat breed. After all, it one of the most common cats in the world, wikipedia should have a proper article about it. /Magnus  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.108.186 (talk) 15:47, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Please stop this absurd theory claiming a cat breed living for millennia in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East as originated in Sweden in the 19th century. This is senseless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.10.219.42 (talk • contribs) 
: Well, it's claimed for two very good reasons, a) it's true, and b) that's what the sources say. So you have any source that says otherwise you should bring them instead of vandalising the page. For instance https://www.omlet.co.uk/breeds/cats/european_shorthair/ says "The European Shorthair cat breed was developed in Sweden". // Liftarn (talk) 14:12, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
