The European Shorthair, known only as the European in the WCF and FIFe, is a cat breed that originated in Sweden. Purebred European Shorthairs start at $400, but that cost can rise to $1,000 if the cat has very unique qualities that set it apart from other members of the breed.

It is often difficult to tell the difference between the breed’s pedigree cats and regular European barn cats.
