Cuerpo y estructura

Domestic Shorthair is a small cat type whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, moderate trainability, and a grooming load of 2/5.

Domestic Shorthair is not one closed breed; it describes everyday short-coated cats with mixed regional ancestry. That makes individual history, environment, play style, and confidence more important than a fixed breed script.
