Arielle — Golden Shaded British Longhair
Arielle, our British Longhair queen. She is a keeper from our program, from mother Ethel and father Carson, and she represents the breed type and temperament we work hard to preserve. If you are exploring British longhair cats or hoping for golden British longhair kittens in the future, Arielle is an important part of our cattery story.
Arielle at a Glance
Arielle has been special since she was a baby. The first time she opened her eyes, I knew she matched my breeding purpose, and I was already in love with her. She had plush fur, astonishingly big eyes, and a sweet expression that made her stand out instantly.
As she grew, she showed a beautiful combination of Ethel and Carson. Her eyes are bright and expressive. Her nose profile is clean and elegant. Her cheeks are full, giving her that classic British look people love in both British shorthair cats and British longhair cats. Her coat feels like silk with a plush touch, and her body has developed with dense bone structure and strong muscle, very much like her father Carson.
Arielle’s Breed Standard Traits
British Longhairs are judged by a clear breed standard, and Arielle is the kind of girl who naturally fits that picture. When we talk about high quality British type, we are looking for balance, structure, and expression, not just fluff.
Arielle’s Breed Standard Traits
Arielle’s eyes are one of her most striking features. They are large, bright, and open, giving her a sweet and gentle look. Her cheeks are full, and her face structure is balanced, which creates a soft, teddy bear expression that many people search for when learning about British longhair kittens.
Nose Profile and Face Balance
Arielle has a nice nose profile that blends smoothly into her face. This is one of those details that makes a cat look refined rather than sharp. Her mouth area is full and well shaped, adding to her classic British expression.
Dense Bone and Muscular Body
Arielle is not a fragile longhair cat. Her body has grown with dense bone structure and a strong, muscular feel. The long coat changes the silhouette, but the solid structure is still there.
Plush Long Hair and Coat Quality
Arielle’s long hair is thick and plush, not thin or wispy. Her fur has a silky touch and a rich feel in the hand. That coat quality matters, because longhair cats need a texture that stays full and healthy with normal grooming. Her coat is one of the reasons she was so memorable even as a very young kitten.
Arielle’s Personality in Family Life
Temperament is the heart of what makes a cat a real family pet. Arielle’s personality is the reason I am proudest of her, because it is the part that shapes daily life in a home. Arielle has been well socialized with us from a young age. She enjoys being around other cats, follows them calmly, and does not start fights. She is peaceful, steady, and easy to live with, which is exactly what many people hope for in British longhair cats. She is as gentle as you can imagine. Arielle loves staying close to us in the same room. Her favorite thing is lying on my lap with her belly up, fully relaxed and trusting. That softness is not only sweet, it is practical. It is the kind of personality that fits family life and makes bonding easy. New visitor. Delivery at the door. Arielle is usually the first one to check what is happening. In this way she really takes after her mom Ethel, who is also curious and loves to greet people and explore new things. Many cats love watching from a distance. Arielle prefers to come closer and understand what is going on. Arielle is the kind of cat who truly enjoys change and attention. This matters because some longhair cats can be more sensitive. Arielle adapts quickly. She stays calm, engages with people, and handles new experiences with confidence.
Show Highlights and Judge Feedback
Arielle’s temperament shines even more in a show setting. Cat shows can be loud and busy, with many strange cats, unfamiliar humans, and constant movement. Arielle showed no nervousness. She allowed handling easily, let people hug her and pet her, and stayed sweet the whole time.
Judges mentioned her great personality and big bright eyes. What made me happiest was not only the comments, but how well she did during the show. She ate, drank, and slept normally, and she seemed genuinely eager to see what other cats and humans were doing. She even greeted visitors in a funny, charming way by playing with them.
Arielle was selected into longhair kitten finals in a Quebec City show. That recognition came from her adorable face and her sweet personality, and it made me extremely proud. It is a meaningful highlight in her story and one reason we are excited about her future as a queen.

Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness
Some owners have heard concerns such as British longhairs are prone to certain inherited issues, including polycystic kidney disease. The right response is not fear. The right response is good screening, responsible selection, and clear communication.
HCM Screening
We will take Arielle to a registered cardiologist for HCM heart screening when she is one and a half year old, before her first pregnancy. This helps us confirm her heart is developing well and whether she can join our breeding program with confidence.
