	History of American Shorthair Breed
		The first cat to resemble him, the European, is believed to be derived from the European wildcat and the early Egyptian cat.1 The original color was therefore presumed to be the brown tabby in both the mackerel and classic patterns.
		The penalty for killing a cat was enough grain to cover the tip of the cat's tail when the cat was suspended by his tail with his nose touching the ground.
		Cats were burned and tortured along with the poor old women with whom they took refuge.

		Make no mistake about it, domestic shorthairs and American shorthairs are so little related as to constitute, for all intents and purposes, two separate breeds; and of those breeds it is the domestic shorthair that can trace its heritage more directly and definitively to the cats that accompanied the first settlers to this country.
		The American shorthair has a medium to medium-short nose with a dip in the profile or a moderate stop (depression in the face at the junction of the forehead and muzzle).
